Open Thread: Colorado Avalanche at Vancouver Canucks (8:00 p.m. MT)

The Colorado Avalanche are back in action after a dominant 9-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. Riding high from that performance, they now head to Vancouver to face the Canucks in the second game of a back-to-back series.

This matchup marks the first of three regular-season meetings between Colorado and Vancouver. The Avalanche proved their strength against the reigning Western Conference Champions, showcasing both star and depth players in exceptional form.

Each of these players made hat-trick bids during the game, emphasizing Colorado’s offensive depth and overall dominance.

Minor Setbacks

Despite the massive victory, a few issues persisted. The Avalanche went 0-for-7 on the power play, and Gabe Landeskog saw another goal disallowed for being offside. Still, these were small blemishes on an otherwise near-perfect night.

“You’re really splitting hairs over things that went wrong in a 9-1 win.”

With momentum on their side, Colorado aims to collect another two points in the standings against a Vancouver team also dealing with fatigue from consecutive games.
