EDMONTON, Alberta — The Avalanche will put its perfect 5-0 postseason road record on the line Saturday in what figures to be a wild Canadian environment for Game 3 of the Western Conference finals against the Oilers at Rogers Place.
The emphasis for the Avs, who swept Games 1 and 2 at Ball Arena, is to keep it simple in the hostile environment.
“When you go on the road, especially in the playoffs, you tend to simplify things a little bit,” Colorado captain Gabe Landeskog said Friday before the team chartered here. “You really got to make sure your systems are in check and you’re sticking to the plan, and that’s what we’re looking to do. We’re excited for the challenge to head on the road here.”
