Colorado Avalanche News & Notes
Colorado is facing a plague of injuries this season and still managing to keep themselves in the playoff picture. The Avalanche have won four of their last five games, the one loss in overtime against the Canadiens.
Chicago Blackhawks News & Notes
The Blackhawks are 1-4 in their last five games.
Chicago has made news recently as becoming one of the top destinations for the University of Denver’s David Carle. Anders Sorensen is still the interim head coach in Chicago, and things haven’t improved with the team’s play. Chicago will be sure to make moves on and off the ice this offseason, could Carle be the crown jewel?

Players To Watch:
Colorado Avalanche
Nathan MacKinnon leads the Avalanche in assists and points. Mikko Rantanen is in the last year of his contract and is leading the Avs in goals. Rantanen is reportedly looking to get $14 million AAV on his next contract, and his performance is validating his ask.
Chicago Blackhawks
Taylor Hall is the biggest trade chip on the Blackhawks roster this season. With 21 points in 39 games this season, Hall isn’t exactly lighting up the score sheet.
