What an incredible bounceback for the Avalanche. They needed Casey Mittelstadt to get things figured out and he did. His linemates were a big reason why.

Give Moose his juice. Let’s say, eight years at $101 million. Everybody gets what they want. Mikko Rantanen, the good solider and Nathan MacKinnon’s literal right-hand man, becomes a $100-million player.

The second period hasn’t been great for the Avalanche as of late. Especially on this homestand, where both the Edmonton Oilers and New York Rangers dominated play in the middle frame.

It was a historic performance for the Colorado Avalanche as they moved into a tie for third place in the Central Division with Dallas.

Clayton Keller had a goal and three assists as the Utah Hockey Club beat the St. Louis Blues 4-2 on Saturday night. Logan Cooley had a goal and two assists, and Michael Kesselring and Nick Schmaltz also scored to help Utah snap a three-game losing streak with just its second

Makar's combination of skating and vision were on display when he scored his 100th career goal on a power play Saturday in a 6-3 victory over Dallas. Makar was up top and moved the puck around the ice before receiving it back from Nathan MacKinnon. That set up Makar to unleash a rising wrist shot that beat Dallas goaltender Casey DeSmith.
