The Avalanche win streak ended at nine games earlier this week against Montreal. Still, I think it’s safe to say the Avalanche are back and as dangerous as ever, with their recent acquisitions complimenting an already fortified core group of elite talent. Nathan MacKinnon’s home-point-streak and Mikko Rantanen’s point-streak will again be on the line tonight, so keep an eye on that. Jared Bednar has already mentioned that everyone on the bench is aware of at least Nate’s streak, and at this point, I think maintaining it has become a team effort.
Tonight’s contest will be a tough test for this rejuvenated Avalanche squad.
