The Colorado Avalanche (30-21-2) welcome the Philadelphia Flyers (23-24-6) to Ball Arena on Sunday afternoon in what promises to be an intriguing cross-conference matchup.
The Avalanche enter the contest powered by their dynamic offense, averaging 3.28 goals per game with Nathan MacKinnon and Casey Middlestadt combining for an impressive 110 points this season.
Philadelphia arrives in Denver amid a challenging stretch, having lost their last two games and managing just six goals in their previous five contests.
While Colorado's high-powered attack has netted 12 goals in their last three games, their defensive performance has been less consistent, allowing 3.09 goals per game despite strong showings from goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood.
The contrast in momentum couldn't be more apparent, with the Flyers struggling on both ends of the ice, averaging 2.85 goals per game while allowing 3.36 against.
As these teams prepare to face off at Ball Arena, all eyes will be on whether the Avalanche can maintain their offensive momentum against a Flyers team desperate to reverse their recent fortunes.
