As the NHL season approaches, every team has plenty of questions before the puck drops on Jan. 13. With training camps underway, we’re finally starting to see some line combinations, which leads to lots of chatter. Oddly enough, the Colorado Avalanche and their forward group might have some of the most straightforward combinations out there. As alwa, but unlike other teams where every line seems up in the air, what the Avalanche might start with could be a very common occurrence throughout the 2021 season.
Forward Lines
Andre Burakovsky - Nathan MacKinnon - Mikko Rantanen
Gabriel Landeskog - Nazem Kadri - Brandon Saad
Valeri Nichushkin - JT Compher - Joonas Donskoi
Tyson Jost - Pierre-Edouard Bellemare - Matt Calvert
These lines are the exact same as on Daily Faceoff, and oddly enough, were all typed before even looking at the combos.
