A six-point night for the Avalanche defense including goals from Byram, Jack Johnson, and Girard. This is the Colorado defense the entire NHL should be afraid of and it’s not even at full power yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMl438A21T4
CHOO CHOO. Val Nichushkin is the key to Colorado’s success coming in the clutch on multiple fronts in a shootout win over Arizona. With the Avs depth finally fleshing out the Avs are a tough team to beat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfuTJlR2RMk
When both Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon are popping it off it’s hard for any team to keep up. The Avs’ depth is quickly becoming apparent when they are actually healthy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX7K4Ht243M
Sidney Crosby remains one of the few NHL Centers that isn’t just an automatic to take Nathan MacKinnon over. A tough night for anyone not named JT Compher leads Colorado to a loss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptJsU70wOIg
Could Denis Malgin have beaten Chicago by himself? No, obviously not hockey is a team sport, but he did pop off. Malgin Mania and a GWG from Kurtis MacDermid honestly sum up a lot of this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty8omwyor6c
Outscoring your problems gets a W just as well as not having any. Goals from Nichushkin, Makar, Rantanen, Erod, and crucially Eller were enough for the Avs to take the 5 – 4 win over Ottawa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQpuZWkPLHg
Not all great games have to be shootouts but they certainly can include a shootout. The Avs defense did the heavy lifting in this suffocating Toronto allowing just enough space for Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon to get it done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASHy12H4oBI
The Colorado Avalanche dominate the Montreal Canadiens with former Hab Artturi Lehkonen leading the way, at least until he broke a finger. Byram, MacKinnon, and Rantanen all balled out with plenty more Avs contributing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK63ufdCbCo
Death, Taxes, and the Colorado Avalanche beating Connor Ingram in overtime. Cale Makar with the ultimate game-winner followed the script to a T in a game where the Avs played much better than the scoreboard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tE1Bbq_kH4
With Cale Makar and Val Nichushkin leading the way the Avs dismantle the San Jose Sharks. Offensive contributions from Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Denis Malgin, and Artturi Lehkonen made this one easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRv9D1Z23cs
Despite a quality game from Colorado one critical play from Nathan MacKinnon cost the Avalanche a regulation. The Kraken then took advantage in OT and stole a point from Alexandar Georgiev and the Avs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qqOdUNBlbc
Today was certainly not the Avs’ day, a game in which they were never really competitive due to poor defense and goaltending. They simply need more from the likes of Cale Makar, Devon Toews, and Alexandar Georgiev. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhYXdcWT8Ns
The Colorado Avalanche proved they have offense for days but ultimately it’s defense that wins championships. Despite a valiant effort from Nathan MacKinnon and the rest of the Avs forwards spotting the New Jersey Devils six goals was just too much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0lFACAqoNo
The Avs continue their ascent in the Western Conference with a routine-looking win over the Vegas Golden Knights. Mikko Rantanen reaches a milestone with his 40th goal of the season and Alexandar Georgiev pitches a shutout. The Avs are now within one win of the top of the Central Division. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nVQPuVkGqw
As Colorado continues to push for the top of the central the skill of Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, JT Compher, and Bowen Byram were all on display as they easily dispatched the Winnipeg Jets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sW1YQSKeLbk
A SEGABABA and spotting Edmonton three goals was apparently all part of Colorado’s plan on the path to their best comeback of the season. Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Artturi Lehkonen, and JT Compher all played critical roles in the Avs W. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChFjABd19jU
The Elite defense of the Colorado Avalanche shines through again as Bowen Byram dominates against the St. Louis Blues. Quality play from everyone and goals from Mikko Rantanen and Val Nichushkin made this one easy for the Avs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO4WfO12N9U
Alexandar Georgiev has one of his biggest performances of the season so far in a critical win over the Minnesota Wild for the Colorado Avalanche. The Goals from Andrew Cogliano, Denis Malgin, and Nathan MacKinnon were really the only other bright spots of the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km9bprJozBM
The Avs set themselves up for success but ultimately succumbed to the lack of healthy depth in their defensive core. Nathan MacKinnon and Bowen Byram led the way with support from Artturi Lehkonen and Denis Malgin but it was only enough for one point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQw7Bctl188
What was supposed to be a highly competitive Cup Finals rematch turned into a beatdown of Colorado by the Tampa Bay Lightning. Defenders like Erik Johnson, Devon Toews, and Sam Girard weren’t able to keep up with the offense of Brandon Hagel and Anthony Cirelli. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NIEBSwiKVI
