The Colorado Avalanche are rolling into the final stretch of the season, and there’s a LOT to unpack. Jesse Montano is joined by Denver Gazette’s Evan Rawal to break down the Avs’ recent road trip, the growing goaltending conversation between Scott Wedgewood and Mackenzie Blackwood, and how Colorado’s depth is shaping their playoff push.
Plus, we dive into Logan O’Connor’s return, Ross Colton’s role, Sam Malinski’s emergence, and what the Western Conference playoff picture looks like right now.
Are the Avs peaking at the right time? And who should be “the guy” in net come playoff time?
