The Colorado Avalanche (2-4-0) are on the road to take on the Seattle Kraken (4-2-0) and are looking to extend their winning streak to three games. Puck drop is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. MT.
Colorado turned to Justus Annunen against the San Jose Sharks and the backup goalie came up big. The Avs scored the first two goals and did not relinquish the lead the rest of the way. They led 2-1 for most of the game and relied on Annunen to keep them ahead. San Jose outshot Colorado 16-6 during a 30-minute stretch that began at the end of the first period and included several second-period power plays. The Avs’ PK, which has struggled all season, killed off a 5-on-3 during that stretch.
