As the AHL season marches on, the Colorado Eagles are firmly in the mix in the Pacific Division after a 5-3-1 month of December. With an overall record of 16-9-3 and 35 points the Eagles are currently in fourth place but four points separate the second and sixth ranked teams. With seven of the team teams making the playoff “play-in”, making the cut isn’t a concern but the top four teams are guaranteed a game at home so that is the important mark in the standings.
