The Vancouver Canucks will play with a renewed sense of joy when they host the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night.

It has been an up-and-down experience for the Colorado Avalanche in the wake of the Mikko Rantanen trade. Five games in and the Avalanche hold a 3-2-0 record, beating struggling teams like the St.

They held the Avalanche to 25 shots and became the second team this year to shut out Colorado. Ultimately, the Canucks were able to frustrate the Avalanche and were able to hold them to six high-danger chances on the night.
