Unfortunately, the Colorado Avalanche lost to the Boston Bruins on Sunday night. However, Avs prospect A.J. Greer had a great showing in his NHL debut. He could end up being a factor if he stays up in the NHL.
Here’s a period by period look at his shifts, and some of the things he did well.
First period
Well, Greer started strong, noticeably impacting his line’s play on his first two shifts. He started his first shift with a good hit along the boards. And then later in that shift, he did a good job getting the puck out of his own zone and getting it deep.
