The Best players in the Avs forward core gave a valiant effort all season, at times dragging this team to victory. Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen led the way, Val Nichushkin and Artturi Lehkonen found their place, but when it came time for the playoffs the second lind had problems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M1KXCC9kl8
With 5 of 6 goals coming from Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, and Mikko Rantanen this was the best game of the playoffs for the Avs stars so far. Tack on a shorthanded goal from JT Compher and the Avs take care of business despite some of their shortcomings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8xsgI6wCmc
A game with no logic to it ultimately comes down to the Avs’ stars dominating when they needed to. While Colorado can often make life tougher than it needs to be, if they get the job done it’s hard to complain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aBiZPGym3U
Mikko Rantanen drops a hat trick to blow passed 50 goals and lead the Avs to victory over the San Jose Sharks. Once Mikko reached the magic number the Avs simply dominated the game even picking up two goals for Ben Meyers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Z1V93Hd5Y

A three-point night and an OT winner have Nathan Mackinnon reaching the 100 point mark in style. In what should have been an easy game the Avs squandered a multi-goal lead only for MacKinnon to refuse to lose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVWSQ11U2ic
The Avs’ star power was brighter than the Stars as two goals from Nathan MacKinnon set them up nicely in a game they would ultimately run away with. A depth goal from Logan O’Connor and empty netters from Nichushkin and Rantanen had the Avs in control all night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Wqf-VN77A
A six-point night for the Avalanche defense including goals from Byram, Jack Johnson, and Girard. This is the Colorado defense the entire NHL should be afraid of and it’s not even at full power yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMl438A21T4
When both Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon are popping it off it’s hard for any team to keep up. The Avs’ depth is quickly becoming apparent when they are actually healthy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX7K4Ht243M
Not all great games have to be shootouts but they certainly can include a shootout. The Avs defense did the heavy lifting in this suffocating Toronto allowing just enough space for Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon to get it done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASHy12H4oBI
The Colorado Avalanche dominate the Montreal Canadiens with former Hab Artturi Lehkonen leading the way, at least until he broke a finger. Byram, MacKinnon, and Rantanen all balled out with plenty more Avs contributing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK63ufdCbCo
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
The Colorado Avalanche proved they have offense for days but ultimately it’s defense that wins championships. Despite a valiant effort from Nathan MacKinnon and the rest of the Avs forwards spotting the New Jersey Devils six goals was just too much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0lFACAqoNo
The Avs continue their ascent in the Western Conference with a routine-looking win over the Vegas Golden Knights. Mikko Rantanen reaches a milestone with his 40th goal of the season and Alexandar Georgiev pitches a shutout. The Avs are now within one win of the top of the Central Division. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nVQPuVkGqw
As Colorado continues to push for the top of the central the skill of Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, JT Compher, and Bowen Byram were all on display as they easily dispatched the Winnipeg Jets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sW1YQSKeLbk
This one was a personal delight for me as the Colorado Avalanche toppled the Winnipeg Jets 5-1 in a ‘revenge’ game of sorts after getting bopped 5-0 the last time they were in Winnipeg. That was a tough game to cover in person. Studs Nathan MacKinnon He set the tone with the goal 19 seconds into the game and never…
A SEGABABA and spotting Edmonton three goals was apparently all part of Colorado’s plan on the path to their best comeback of the season. Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Artturi Lehkonen, and JT Compher all played critical roles in the Avs W. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChFjABd19jU
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
