Exactly one month ago, Ross Colton was visibly frustrated.
The Colorado Avalanche, coming off back-to-back losses, had a depth-scoring problem. Colton was mired in a career-worst funk. The club had just finished a long practice at Family Sports Center, and he was still stewing while answering questions about said funk.
A lot has changed since then. Some things have not. Colton and the Avs are in a much better place after ripping off a 10-1-1 run while integrating a bunch of new players and finally playing up to the full potential of a loaded roster.
