Studs Bowen Byram For the second straight game, I thought Byram’s game took some steps forward, especially defensively. To be honest, I actually really liked the pairing with Byram and Girard but Byram had a much tougher start to his season than Girard so I’m focusing on the youngster here.

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. Afternoon games are just weird. This year’s Avalanche team has largely bucked convention and just won games anyway regardless of the history of a challenging situation they’ve found themselves in.

WHERE/WHEN February 14, 2016 Game 59 First Niagara Center Buffalo, New York RUNDOWN The Colorado Avalanche haven’t played a good hockey game in weeks. This isn’t an opinion, just a fact.
