Avs Treading Through
The Colorado Avalanche are going through the dog days of January right now, dealing with injuries and issues, all while trying to regain the top spot in the National Hockey League Central Division, currently occupied by the Winnipeg Jets. The Avs came back from a two-goal deficit in the second period of Tuesday night’s contest against the Ottawa Senators with an explosion of offense in the final frame.
Mikko Rantanen scored his 24th goal of the year late in the second to cut the Sens’ lead to 4-3, followed by four Colorado goals in the third, including a power-play tally from Sam Malinski and an empty net goal to seal the victory from defenseman Devon Toews. With the win, the Avalanche have now picked up victories in eight of their last nine games as they now trail Winnipeg by a single point in the standings entering tonight’s road contest against the Boston Bruins. One key absence will be forward Valeri Nichushkin.
The 28-year old winger who has 22 goals and 42 points this season will step away from the team indefinitely to enter the NHLPA Player Assistance Program. There’s no word as to what issues he’s dealing with but hockey fans around the world, especially Avalanche fans send their best wishes to “Big Val” and a speedy recovery.
Bearly Winning
The Boston Bruins have been clawing their way through some of their games lately, as reflected by their 6-1-3 mark in their last ten games. The key for this time of year with any NHL club is to earn points as often as you can, and the B’s have done that in nine of their last ten contests.
Boston picked up a 3-0 victory on Monday afternoon, beating the New Jersey Devils thanks in part to a 31-save shutout performance by goaltender Jeremy Swayman, his third shutout of the year and twelfth of his four-year career with the Bruins. Now the B’s will continue their five-game homestand against a hot Colorado Avalanche team that is also playing fierce, scrappy hockey.
