The Colorado Avalanche has hit a snag on its potential climb to the top of the Central Division, and the most surprising part is what’s currently the biggest issue.
When the Avs stumbled to a 14-13 start, there were two obvious culprits: the goaltending and the injuries. When Colorado has struggled in recent seasons, it’s often been a lull in the performance without the puck.
But an unlikely obstacle has popped up after this Avs team looked ready to take off with a 10-2 run and two new goaltenders. The Avs, the team with three of the best players in the world, suddenly can’t score.
