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.

For the first time in a while, it felt like the Avs found a way to lose a hockey game they should have won. With critical defensive mistakes and terribly timed penalties, this is one where the issues are obvious. https://youtu.be/pfnW87q92yA
The Avs entered today’s early-evening tilt in Minnesota in sort of an odd spot in their season.

With that in mind, the Avs are missing several players who will be…...

The Avs managed to beat themselves once again as the final score suggests. Even with the ugliness in this game, the Avs had opportunities to win and once they tighten up it’s not hard to see them going on the warpath. https://youtu.be/CjgA4zhzJjY
9-6-1 through 16 games? Stanley Cup contender? Are we sure? Following an embarrassing 6-2 loss on home ice to the Minnesota Wild, the Avs fell to sixth place in the West Division.
