Last night the Avalanche lost a close battle to the Winnipeg Jets 7-4. The score might not reflect how entertaining of a game it was which was tied in the third period and then the Avalanche gave up two empty net goals. The Avalanche outshot the Jets 43-26 and held over 60% of the shot attempts in each period but just could not convert on those chances,
There were many ups and downs for the Colorado Avalanche in the 2010s but the 2020s begin with promise for an exciting decade ushered by top tier talent including Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Cale Makar.
Speaking of, unfortunately Cale Makar was not named to the All-Star game however he is on the Last Men In ballot and voting begins today at NHL.com/vote through January 10th.
You know you want to vote this guy into the #NHLAllStar Game...

The injury carousel in the AHL never stops but here’s hoping that the Colorado Eagles get a top prospect back soon.
Conor Timmins has been out of the Colorado Eagles' lineup with a lower-body injury but the plan is for him to travel with the team.
