We’re back with the Colorado Avalanche weekly report card!
Every game I make note of a couple of standout players and moments, give letter grades to the rest of the roster and the team’s systems, then average those grades out for the week to determine the final report card.
The Avs had a tough week, with a dominant performance in Pittsburgh that ended in an OT loss followed by a disappointing display of offensive ineptitude in Tampa Bay.
THE GAMES
Tuesday @ Pittsburgh: 2-1 OT Loss
Thursday @ Tampa Bay: 5-0 Loss
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Sam Girard: Great play on the goal in Pittsburgh and overall was really good that night, pairing with Byram to dominate puck possession and generate a ton of offensive chances.
