Colorado Avalanche: Focus Turns to Playoffs
The Colorado Avalanche turn their focus to the playoffs as they make their second consecutive appearance. Here are some thoughts as they prepare to face the Calgary Flames.
The Colorado Avalanche clinched a playoff spot with a game to spare against the Winnipeg Jets. Arguably, the Avalanche had been playing playoff hockey for a while now, staring down a points deficit in early March, coupled with the loss of two of the three best offensive players in their arsenal.
Then in the last 14 games, Colorado made their own luck, posting a 9-3-2 record, taking 20 of a possible 28 points, to clinch a playoff spot.
