The Colorado Avalanche may have dropped a disappointing game against the New York Rangers earlier this week, but they’ve certainly managed to do better than a handful of teams around the league — namely in the sense that they have yet to legitimately embarrass themselves this year.
The Arizona Coyotes, for starters, have scored just three goals in five games — and not one of them has come at even strength. Their two power-play tallies were neat to watch and their short-handed goal was a beauty, but they’re seemingly on a mission to prove that even with excellent goaltending, a team can fall flat purely by virtue of not scoring a single goal.
