The first few games of the 2016 World Cup of Hockey should have Colorado Avalanche fans very excited for the upcoming season. Center Matt Duchene looked unstoppable against the USA.
Even though he only logged 11 minutes of ice time, Duchene scored two goals for Canada, including a great physical play against Central Division rival Dustin Byfuglien. Nathan MacKinnon’s all-star talent was on display against Sweden when he scored the game winning goal in overtime to keep Team NA’s hopes alive.
As an avid Avs fan, seeing Duchene and MacKinnon shine on the world stage is no surprise.
