After a 3-2 overtime win against the Washington Capitals on Sunday, the Colorado Avalanche are continuing their East Coast road trip with a matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight. This will be the second and final regular-season matchup between these two teams, with Pittsburgh having won the first one by a final score of 7-2 just over a week ago and Colorado looking for revenge.<\/p>\n
After getting Gabe Landeskog back in the lineup against the Washington Capitals, the Avs get even more reinforcements tonight, as Logan O\u2019Connor is making his season debut, and Ross Colton is also getting back in the lineup as well. Obviously, Colorado\u2019s last game against Pittsburgh didn\u2019t go so well for Colorado at all, and hopefully getting even more reinforcements back into the lineup tonight gives the team a boost, even if it\u2019s an emotional one more than anything.<\/p>\n

The Penguins have just continued to win games this year and have put themself into a playoff spot after looking like they would miss the playoffs at the start of this season. They\u2019re coming into this game off a 5-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes and will be looking to get right in this game and earn another two points to keep pushing to make the playoffs.<\/p>\n
