Avalanche on Fire .....Winning Their 6th in a Row!!
The streaking Avalanche took their 5 game win streak on the road Wednesday night and headed to

Milton.  After great success in late Movember with big wins against Centre Wellington, Stoney Creek, Caledon, Orangeville and Flamborough, the Avalanche headed to Milton and put their record on the line. 
Milton was able to survive intense pressure in the first period and deflected in the only goal of the period.  Although the Avalanche controlled 90% of the play it only took one bad bounce to see them down by a goal.
With the "never give up" attitude the Avalanche came out in the 2nd period and Zambon worked hard along the boards and deep into the corner, battling 2 defenders he was able to come up with the puck and feed DiFederico out front, who slid home the games equalizer.  Four minutes later Zambon notched his second of the night after Smith won the battle at the red line and got him the puck, which he took hard to the net and buried it low blocker side on the keeper.
It remained a 2-1 game until mid-way into the third when Zambon battled for the puck and then went coast to coast to score his second of the night.  With 11 seconds left on the clock, Crechiolo scored the insurance goal and Zambon finished with an assist and his 4th point of the game.
With the win, the Avs moved into sole possession of 3rd place and will have lots of work to do in the coming weeks as they face off against the top teams.

The team play, puck passing, back checking, goal tending, fore checking, defensive battling and overall desire for the puck has been very impressive!  
Keep up the intensity and hard work!!
