The Colorado Avalanche. One point. As Matt Stephens of the Denver Post points out, if the Avs get one point tonight, they will clinch a playoff spot for the second consecutive season. As a boon, if the Arizona Coyotes fail to secure both points tonight, the Avs will clinch a playoff spot for the second consecutive season.
This is heady stuff, Avs Nation. When they lost to the Dallas Stars early in March, I suffered flashbacks of the 2014-15 season when the Avalanche lost eight of their last nine games to fall right out of playoff contention.
