Colorado at Florida

The Colorado Avalanche and the Florida Panthers are both under .500 for the season. That makes this meeting important for both teams to try to steal some momentum and stay in touch for the playoff race. Things have gotten worse for the Florida Panthers over their last two games. They lost starting goalie Robert Luongo on Monday, and in their most recent game they lost their star player in Aleksander Barkov in Thursday's game vs. the Winnipeg Jets. Those are crucial pieces for a team that is barely keeping its head above water. That should provide a spark for the Avalanche knowing that they have a big opportunity as a road dog to snap a four-game losing streak. Back Colorado.
