https://twitter.com/ltcpain75/status/1435389502290288644?s=20 Absolutely. I anticipate the Kadri we see this season will be extremely motivated. For one, he’s a pending unrestricted free agent, so there’s a lot for him to gain if he has a really strong season. Having played on a pretty team-friendly deal for the last handful of years, you know he’d like to cash in on what is…...

After what is likely their most impressive win of the year to date, Jared Bednar delivered some unfortunate news to the media. Matt Calvert, who was originally listed as day to day, is now being listed as “out indefinitely”. The 31-year-old winger was sitting fifth on the Avs in ice time among forwards, but now will be out for an…...

Injuries or not, the Avalanche know they let an opportunity slip away last season when they were knocked out in game seven of the second round by Dallas. Through the opening days of camp, the message from the players has been clear: anything less than a Stanley Cup championship isn’t good enough. “I don’t think we need to hide it,…...

Pierre-Edouard Bellemare – C The PK had a good night, but unfortunately, Bellemare was in the box for one of them as he took a holding penalty late in the second. I didn’t like some of his decisions with the puck, including wiring a pass to an unsuspecting Namestnikov in the second, but he had some good chances in the…...

It's difficult for a young player to come up in a stretch run and earn the trust of an NHL head coach.

How is Martin Kaut making it look so easy, then?

The 20 year old Czech native has only been up with the Avs for a week, but he's already earning ice time due to his hard work and intelligence on the ice.

There's an almost 15 year age gap between Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Martin Kaut.

Fresh off his best showing in an Avalanche uniform, Martin Kaut wasn’t resting on his laurels. After Friday’s practice, Kaut didn’t head to the locker room early. Instead, he stayed out late and spent some solo time with Avs skills coach Shawn Allard. Kaut would sit in the slot with his stick down while Allard would launch low shots, with…...

Playing a more veteran lineup, with many of their NHL regulars dressing up front, the Colorado Avalanche put up 47 shots in regulation but were unable to beat either Dallas goaltender more than once, losing by a score of 2-1. How did each player perform? Let’s find out… Cale Makar – B: Crazy to think this is Makar’s first preseason game…...
