Brock Nelson is enjoying the ride in Avalanche burgundy and blue. But he’s already tired of feeling like a passenger over the first week of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
“Trust me, I believe (the puck is) going to go in,” the Avalanche’s second-line center said before Saturday night’s Game 4 of Colorado’s series with the Dallas Stars. “And that (next one) would be a timely one.”
No kidding. Avs coach Jared Bednar has had to weather a handful of little frustrations through the first three games with the Stars, but the two that keep recurring are scoring from his top power-play unit and scoring from his second line.
