Justus Annunen secured a shutout against the Blackhawks this past Thursday, and the Avalanche reasserted their dominance over a struggling Blackhawks team, trouncing them 5-0 with a backup netminder. Last week's ESPN broadcast made us aware of Connor Bedard at all times, and naturally, the game ended up supplying controversy and potential animosity heading into tonight's matchup.
