While injuries can certainly explain a lot of the issues the Avs’ bottom-six faced this season there are still a lot of things that came up on the disappointing side of things. Especially for players like Alex Newhook and Logan O’Connor in the playoffs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS90fZZgF84
The Avs did not play particularly well in this game but some Malgin magic shored up their shortcomings. Depth goals from Brad Hunt and Alex Newhook helped Colorado sneak away with a win they probably shouldn’t have earned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLvmf5snmO8
Five games to go in a season that has been as up and down as I can remember in recent seasons for the Colorado Avalanche. With a playoff spot secured, the Avs came into tonight’s game looking to keep pace at the top of the Central Division after both the Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild both won their games earlier…
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
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
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
For another blown loss, the Colorado Avalanche have some legitimate studs to talk up in this one. Byram, MacKinnon, and Hunt all did what they needed to do to win this game. Unfortunately, the second line and Kurtis MacDermid were just too heavy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDr1wE4Owb4
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
