After sinking the Sharks in both games, the Colorado Avalanche, with a rejuvenated second line and missing depth, as well as Bo Byram’s season on the line, take on a familiar and larger rival.

You know the expression “a watched pot never boils?”

Nazem Kadri does. Very well.

After only getting one assist the last five games, Kadri emerged from his slump midway through the third period against the San Jose Sharks, with 2 goals and an assist, not to mention a barrage of 10 shots, to sink the Sharks and take the two game series.
