Shawn Matthias goes by "Danger" in the Avalanche locker room. He had the same nickname in Toronto.

But he's fitting in better in Colorado.

"It's been a great fit. I fit in well with the style of play and the guys," said Matthias, who was acquired by the Avs in a Feb. 21 trade with the Maple Leafs. "It's been a good experience, a good opportunity, and this is a good team and I'm playing with two great hockey players."

In 11 games with the Avs, the 6-foot-4 power forward has three goals and seven points — just three goals and 10 points fewer than what he produced in 51 games with the Maple Leafs.
