A Sunday Skate for Avs in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA--The Colorado Avalanche hit the ice for the fourth day in a row when the club practiced at Wells Fargo Center on Sunday.
The Avs went through a few drills for the first half of the 30-minute session before the team was split into two squads to finish the practice with a 2-on-2 scrimmage.

Head coach Jared Bednar put the Gabriel Landeskog-Nathan MacKinnon-Mikko Rantanen trio with the seven Avalanche defensemen and grouped together the other three forward lines for the end-of-practice game.
Colorado is coming off a loss at the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday that started a five-game road trip. Andre Burakovsky and Nikita Zadorov each had a goal and an assist while Ryan Graves set a career high with 10 blocked shots in the defeat, which was the Avs first game since Jan. 20.
The club will have another practice at Wells Fargo Center on Monday before heading to Buffalo to play the Sabres on Tuesday. The five-game trip concludes with stops at the Ottawa Senators, Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild.
