Here's the NHL.com game recap from last night. Just check out that scoring summary!
The Avs traded Anderson to Ottawa in February, and he played well enough to earn a four-year deal with the Senators. But after spotting the Senators an early lead when Milan Michalek scored a power-play goal 4:05 into the game, the Avs ran off seven unanswered goals against their former goaltender while outshooting Ottawa 39-16. Colorado won its third road game in four days -- the Avs won 1-0 in Boston on Monday afternoon and 3-2 at Columbus on Wednesday night.
There is no denying that Colorado played well last night.
Despite having played the previous night in Columbus the Avalanche showed no sign of fatigue scoring a power-play and a short-handed goal to make it 5-1 before the third period was even five minutes old.
Colorado added two more power-play goals to make it 7-1 late in the game.
If you are in Brampton, you might want to go to the OHL game Sunday.

Both Duchene and McClemenet are currently playing with the National Hockey League’s Colorado Avalanche and will be in Toronto for a Monday night contest with the Maple Leafs.
