The Colorado Avalanche have used six goalies this season. But it appears they’ve finally settled on the starter for their next few years. After making a few moves to fix that issue, they’ve won seven of their last eight games (8-1-1 in their last 10) and are playing like a team that wants to make a deep playoff run. And their captain, Gabriel Landeskog, has been skating with them recently for the first time in a couple years. There’s a lot of hope in Colorado for the second half of their season.
They visit the Blackhawks tonight.

So that’s not a good recipe."–Anders Sorensen on the Blackhawks' poor puck management in the 6-2 loss to the Rangers pic.twitter.com/fmreP34zhl
