The Edmonton Oilers are searching for answers after a 9-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. The defeat marked their third straight loss and dropped their record to 6-6-4. It has been a tough stretch for a team that made two straight Stanley Cup Final appearances, but has stumbled badly to start this season.

It’s a pretty simple argument to make, but the Colorado Avalanche is the best team in the NHL right now.

The Colorado Avalanche have been linked to a potential blockbuster trade that would see them reunite with a Stanley Cup champion. The post Avalanche Linked to Potential Trade Reunion With Stanley Cup Champion appeared first on Heavy Sports.

Olofsson gave the Avalanche a 3-0 with his first goal of the season and first tally as an Avs player via a right-circle wrist shot at 2:31 of the second period. Jack Ahcan picked up his first-career NHL assist with the primary helper on the goal.
