There is no better time to be a Colorado Avalanche fan than right now. While the majority of the NHL is in playoff position (besides three teams), the Avalanche stand above all of them with their dominant play thus far.
Colorado is running away from the pack and looks like the favorite to win the Presidents' Trophy. Not to mention, they have just one regulation loss through 26 games played.
On Tuesday night, the Avalanche defeated the Vancouver Canucks 3-1. Their star, Nathan MacKinnon, helped propel the team to an easy victory by scoring two goals, bringing his season total to 22.
