Game Story: The string of excellent games for Cooper Hopkins and I to call continues. The Calgary Flames played very well and was quite gritty… but the Colorado Avalanche traded just as many showcase goals and found a way to win outright. See the coverage here. http://tinyurl.com/379vnj22

Calgary Flames: (11-13-3 Fifth in Pacific) HC: Ryan Huska Top Performers: Nazem Kadri 6-12-18 -9, Elias Lindholm 7-10-17 -2, Blake Coleman 7-9-16 +6, Jonathan Huberdeau 4-11-15 -13, Rasmus Andersson 4-11-15 -1, MacKenzie Weegar 6-9-15, Andrew Mangiapane 5-9-14, Yegor Sharangovich 6-7-13 -6, Mikael Backlund 6-7-13 +4, Noah Hanifin 5-8-13, Connor Zary (17 GP 5-7-12 +4)
1-3-0 since we last covered the 11-30 victory over DAL in OT. Losses to VAN, MIN and NJ. Comeback over CAR down 2-0. Upcoming Schedule is brutal. COL, VGK, MIN, TB, FLA but is just 3 PTS out of a WC spot. Problem: EDM has won seven in a row. SEA has lost eight in a row!
Colorado Avalanche: (16-9-2, First in Central) HC: Jared Bednar Top Performers: Nathan MacKinnon 11-26-37 +7, Cale Makar 7-27-34 +15, Mikko Rantanen 12-19-31 +2, Valeri Nichushkin 10-11-21 +5, Devon Toews 4-11-15 +8, Ross Colton 7-5-12, Ryan Johansen 9-2-11 -3, Bowen Byram 5-4-9 -4, Tomas Tatar 0-8-8 –1
1-3-2 in the last six games. Only win against ANA 3-2. Loss in OT/SO to ARI and ANA. Losses in regulation against LA 4-1, WPG 4-2 PHI 5-2. Outscored 14-23 in that span. Second –type of skid this year… a blip or a trend?
Goaltending Matchup: Dan Vladar (4-3-1, 3.45 GAA, .877 SV) Alexandar Georgiev (14-7-1, 2.86 GAA, .900 SV 1 SO)
