Looks like the Colorado Avalanche have finally been caught out. Mike Kelly from the NHL Network has analysed why the Colorado Avalanche is leading the NHL in goal chances off a rush and third in the NHL for goals scored off a rush.
He’s seen what we see most nights when we watch our team. Fast, clever hockey. That play where there is always someone there ready to pounce, ready to take that puck and move it, ready to drop into a slot that’s opened up near the goal face and put that puck on net.
He rightfully points out that the Avalanche are smoking the NHL in rush scoring differential with a plus 160, with their nearest rival being the Vegas Golden Knights at 116.
