Avalanche Heating Up, Scoring from Everywhere

On March 25th, the Colorado Avalanche are heating up at the perfect time, fresh off a convincing

6-to-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

With just 12 games left in the regular season, they're on a 3-game winning streak, and suddenly

playing like the powerhouse everyone expected.

Key players are trickling back into the lineup, boosting their depth right when it counts.

Logan O'Connor is healthy after hip surgery, Ross Colton returned in that Penguins game

and Captain Gabriel Landiskog is back from a serious injury.

What makes this team scary is scoring from everywhere, not just the stars like Nathan

McKinnon, Kale McCarr and Martin Neckas.

Guys like Brock Nelson, Arturie Laconin, Parker Kelly, and even defenseman Sam Milinsky and

Brent Burns are chipping in big goals, giving them an edge when playoffs tighten up.

Gold Tending has been rock solid too, with McKenzie Blackwood as a reliable starter and

back up, Christopher Wedgewood posting career highs in wins and starts along with a sharp

2.19 goals against average.

They hold a 7-point lead in the central division over Dallas, but staying healthy down the stretch

would decide if they roll into the postseason at full strength and overwhelm the competition.
