The Avalanche have been a very good road team this season, going 21-10-3. They currently hold the top record in the NHL with a .754 winning percentage and 104 points.
Devon Toews scored the game-winning goal against Pittsburgh with a little under five minutes left in the contest. Nathan MacKinnon had two assists in the game, ending a two-game scoreless drought. MacKinnon is fourth on the team with 72 points but has just two points since his six-game point streak came to an end three games ago.

Crosby continues to shine, recording points in each of his last four games and he has points in 18 of his last 20 contests, recording 36 points in that span. The Penguins have always been known for exceptional offense, but it is their goaltending that has been solid this year, fourth in goals allowed per game at 2.60.
