Studs Sam Girard & Bowen Byram I’m putting them together in this because I thought they were especially great as a pairing. The shot metrics are awesome, of course, and they combined for three points (Byram two of them) and two of the five goals scored. It was an all-around great night for Colorado’s second pairing and the kind of…

If you listened to the DNVR Avalanche postgame show after the Colorado Avalanche defeated the Arizona Coyotes 4-3 in OT on Sunday night, you heard us talk about the importance of winning games against teams you “should” beat this time of year. Over the course of an 82-game season, let’s face it… you’re going to get some stinkers in there.…

Studs Valeri Nichushkin What do you say about the chu-chu train? His speed still hasn’t fully returned after the myriad of lower-body injuries he’s fought through this year but he’s healthy enough otherwise to help the Avalanche and today we saw a good showcase of his value to the team. He’s not their most skilled forward or their hardest working…

Studs Alexandar Georgiev I don’t know how many games in a row he’s been here, but it’s quite a few now. I think he’s playing great hockey and tonight was no exception. He gave up four goals and all of them were either great hockey, power play goals, or both. Anybody who watched Georgiev go under siege in the second…

Studs Alexandar Georgiev We’ll just start here. I say this literally every time and will just continue doing so, but if a goaltender gets a shutout in an NHL game, he’s a stud that night, no questions asked. This wasn’t the most impressive of Georgiev’s five shutouts this year, but at 27 saves he was at least seriously tested for…

Just three points back from Dallas, Colorado is in hot pursuit of the top of the Central Division. They can’t surpass them tonight, but they can come closer. Tonight, the Avs kicked off a three-game homestand. After missing his homecoming game, news out of morning skate revealed that Darren Helm is out with an illness. Cale Makar tweaked something, lower-body,…

Studs Cale Makar When Bowen Byram scored late in the second period to make it 3-1, it was Makar’s third point of the game and all three were well-earned. Three points in just under 38 minutes to put the Avs in prime territory to walk away with a 4-0 road trip. He was that good today. While Detroit fans were…

Studs Colorado’s stars I guess I didn’t really feel like putting Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and Cale Makar all in here separately so, I didn’t. They’re in this group. Makes sense, right? MacKinnon had three assists and he does great work along the wall on Colorado’s second goal but didn’t pick up a point on it. He was pretty great…

In a familiar storyline, the Colorado Avalanche would play a team on the second leg of a back-to-back. Fortunately, the travel from Toronto to Ottawa would give them a bit of time to collect themselves. The team did not hold a morning skate to maximize their rest. The impressive victory over Toronto in the shootout last night breathed new life…
