The Colorado Avalanche continue to be a mixed bag of goodies, having won their first home game in over a month after losing two games on the road.
THE GOOD
1. The Colorado Avalanche broke the drought and won at home in an exciting overtime game against the New York Islanders. Nathan MacKinnon scored the winning goal with only 17 seconds left on the clock of a gut-wrenching 3-on-3 overtime, avoiding the dreaded shootout. There was much rejoicing!
2. Alternate Captain Nathan MacKinnon was just named to the NHL All-Star roster as the sole Avalanche representative.
