Alex Newhook isn’t meeting Jared Bednar’s standard

The Colorado Avalanche had a real chance at evening things up with a 5-on-3 advantage with just minutes to go in the third and final period of their loss to the St. Louis Blues on Monday night. The Avalanche gave a solid performance in a game with some missed open nets and flukey deflection goals. Those who graced the ice did their best to secure the victory, but it didn’t add up. Those who seemed absent from the ice in key moments quickly became the talking point of post-game chatter. Where was Alex Newhook, and why has he kept off the ice for the last half hour of playing time?
