ST. LOUIS--The Colorado Avalanche got one point in the standings against a division rival, but it could have easily been two.

Colorado had chances to grab the extra one on the road Friday night against the St. Louis Blues, but it couldn't capitalize on a couple opportunities in overtime. Instead, the Blues scored on their chance to defeat the Avs 4-3 in extra time at Enterprise Center.

"We have our best players on the ice, a 4-on-3 power play, and we give up a breakaway. It should be us putting a dagger through them there and get two points. It has to be," said head coach Jared Bednar. "We have to be better than that."

ST. LOUIS--The Colorado Avalanche begins a back-to-back set this evening against the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center. It will be the fifth of 11 such consecutive-night series for Colorado this season.

EDMONTON -- Connor McDavid had his second four-point game of the season, and the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Minnesota Wild 7-2 at Rogers Place on Friday.

SUNRISE, Fla.--For the second time this season, Carl Soderberg has scored in consecutive games.

He has two goals in the Colorado Avalanche's last two games after recording a tally and adding an assist on Thursday to help the Avs defeat the Florida Panthers 5-2 at BB&T Center.

SUNRISE, Fla.--Goaltender Philipp Grubauer will be between this pipes for the Colorado Avalanche this evening as the team continues its East Coast road trip at the Florida Panthers.

The German netminder is 6-0-2 in his last eight starts, one shy of his longest streak without a regulation loss (7-0-2 in 2016-17).

To complete its second consecutive back-to-back set and its fourth game in six days, the Colorado Avalanche is expected to turn to Philipp Grubauer in net tonight against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Avalanche returns to Pepsi Center after the team defeated the Nashville Predators 3-2 on Tuesday at Bridgestone Arena behind a 36-save performance from goaltender Semyon Varlamov.

J.T. Compher didn't tiptoe his way into his first game in nearly six weeks. Instead, he jumped right in with two short-handed goals in the first period.

Compher tallied twice in a matter of 1:25 during a Colorado Avalanche penalty kill to jumpstart the club in a 5-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Friday at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona. The forward is only the 20th NHL player since 1933-34 to score two short-handed markers in a span of two minutes or less and just the fourth to do it in the last 15 years.

Forward J.T. Compher will return to the Colorado Avalanche's lineup for tonight's game at the Arizona Coyotes after being out for nearly six weeks with a head injury.

Compher will likely start on a line centered by Vladislav Kamenev, head coach Jared Bednar said on Thursday.

The Colorado Avalanche begins a three-game road trip through the Pacific Division this evening at the Anaheim Ducks.

It's the first outing of a busy week for the Avs, as they'll play at the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday and the Arizona Coyotes on Friday before returning home for a contest on Saturday against the Dallas Stars.

Despite a strong push in the closing minutes to extend the game into overtime, the Colorado Avalanche fell 3-2 to the Washington Capitals at Pepsi Center on Friday.

Carl Soderberg got the Avs on the board in the second minute of the game and Colin Wilson tied the contest at 2-2 with less than three minutes remaining to help the Avs earn a point in the loss. The Capitals scored an overtime, power-play tally 22 seconds into the bonus stanza.
