There’s one storyline that has surrounded the Colorado Avalanche for the entirety of their season up until this point: the lack of forward depth. An apt description to say the least. As of their game against the St. Louis Blues, the entire bottom nine of the Avs forward group has only accounted for 35 points. Over half of those points have come from the injured Valeri Nichushkin and Evan Rodrigues, so it’s safe to say the Avs depth is a problem.
Despite the lack of production one line has shined in their time together.
