The Avs road trip out of the all star break finishes at 1-1-1, could've been worse, could've been better. They got beat up real bad by the Tampa Bay Lightning in a Stanley Cup Final rematch, that they're probably better off burning the tape for. But the Avs salvage the trip against the Florida Panthers, where the offense finally explodes and hold onto a third period lead for a 5-3 win on the road. Coming up next for the Avalanche is one of the most insane back to back games of the season, with a rematch against the Lightning first back in Colorado this time, and the biggest game of the season against the Minnesota Wild on the road the next night. Finally, the Blues trade Tarasenko to the Rangers in a what could be the beginning of a sell off, and the Coyotes will likely be moving on from Jakob Chychrun in the coming days.
