Matt Nieto’s speed has become a weapon for the Colorado Avalanche

Matt Nieto entered the NHL playoffs without scoring a goal in 2019. His last goal came on December 9, 2018 in Pittsburgh. Now after four months and a 39-game drought, the Colorado Avalanche winger has goals in back to back games - both coming shorthanded.
