The Colorado Avalanche have been slumping, but with their win Wednesday night against the Winnipeg Jets, the Avalanche are back in the playoff bracket. But does that herald a playoff run?
That seems impossible with the way they have been playing the last couple of months, yet they are still in the hunt. The Western Conference this season has been a wild ride. 9 points separate last place and the final wild card spot. To put that in perspective, the Eastern Conference has a 20 point difference between the last place Ottawa Senators -yay- and the final wild card spot.
