Avalanche snap losing skid with 6-1 rout over Rangers
Tyson Barrie set the franchise record for points by a defender Amid a six-game losing streak — the team’s longest skid of the season — the Colorado Avalanche were in desperate need of a victory on Friday night to subdue the mile-high panic, at least for a day.

The team was near the top of the Western Conference and was producing as one of the best offensive teams in the NHL. Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon were leading the league in scoring and the Avalanche as a whole had scored more goals than everyone save for the Tampa Bay Lightning. The problem is that the team was riding an unsustainably high shooting percentage - something that was...
