The Avalanche are often viewed as one of the league’s least-focused-on star-studded rosters. Despite the fact that their top line is one of the best in the league, they tend to get a smaller share of the league-wide attention from fans and media for their successes.
With the addition of Gabriel Landeskog to the All Star Game’s Central Division lineup, though, it’s clear that people are definitely starting to notice all their success.
Avalanche top line center Nathan MacKinnon was voted as Central Division captain earlier in the season, taking the majority of the votes for the already-stacked group of teams holding court over the rest of the Western Conference.
