Avs @ Devils Tonight

Henrik Tallinder pushes Matt Duchene

On November 30, 2011, the Devils travelled to The Pepsi Center in Colorado to take on the Avalanche in their first of two meetings this year. Tonight, the Avalanche will take the flight over here and hope to repeat the last game's score. Last November, the Avalanche put out the Devils' fire. Colorado put up a massive six goals to one on the Devils. 


There are many hot topics to watch in this game. One would be the two Calder Trophy favorites facing off against each other in Gabriel Landeskog and Adam Henrique. Another would be both goalies looking pretty good lately, that is if Brodeur and Varlamov both start. Thirdly, Kovalchuk is one goal away from the milestone of 400 goals. And a last is Colorado Avalanche's star, Matt Duchene, is a high probability to returning to their line-up tonight. He has been injured and out for most of the season. His current injury is his ankle. 


Colorado is currently holding the last playoff spot in the Western Conference, but three teams are tied together who are all one win behind the Avs. The Devils have five more points than the Avalanche, and are in the sixth seed currently in the East. The two teams do not see each other very often at all, and all Western conference games are tough for teams from the East. Let's hope for the best!
