AVS wanted to treat their last game of games before the break as if it were the playoffs. Mission obtained against blues on Friday. They closed them 5-0 and imposed their will from the opening of the opening.

They hope to continue it against Flyers in their last match at Ball Arena until the end of February. Mackenzie Blackwood, which made 19 savings against St. Louis, is back between the pipes that want to win two just for the first time in a few weeks. He is likely to be backed up by Trent Miner after Scott Wedgewood’s absence from Saturday’s practice.

Blackwood and AVS have not merged two consecutive wins since December 31 and January 2. They get a great opportunity to do it against a team that runs on a two-match’s losing row.

Martin Necas has been excellent in his first four games and scored against Blues – his first goal with Colorado. The forward runs on a three-game point strip and has helped revive a fighting power play.
