The Colorado Avalanche are seriously cooking right now. Ever since that night a month ago against the Stars, which went to OT and saw the Avs trail home, dreading the season ahead, they have entered an entirely new gear.

And look, that uprise has many layers, but none more so than their most reliable player.
