“Three games are a small sample size in the grand scheme of an 82-game season, but these three games have already felt like an eternity for the Colorado Avalanche.
There’s been a lot of bad, but also a fair bit of good. OK, maybe there wasn’t a whole lot of good in Monday’s loss to the New York Islanders. But in the first two games, the Avalanche did a lot of things right. Everything they did right was cancelled out by some downright bad goaltending.
With Colorado off Tuesday, let’s dig into some of the individual performances — good and bad.”
