The seasons for Avalanche prospects Nikolai Kovalenko and Sean Behrens ended this week. Could either sign with Colorado?

Another strong year in the KHL would cement that. In the playoffs, he chipped in with seven points in 10 games. There isn’t really much more for him to do at the NCAA level, but ultimately, it’s up to the player. As expected, Sean Behrens (COL) was one of the best-performing defencemen in the tournament. Arguably the best defensive defenceman while contributing a ton offensively and clearly holding his own in transition. Since he plays right up the street, the Avalanche know exactly what they have in Behrens. He also played a big role in Team USA winning the That means the sophomore season for Sean Behrens is now complete, and he’s free to sign with the Avalanche, if he chooses to do so. Those two prospects saw their respective seasons come to an end over the last few days.

Don’t expect any changes up front for the Avalanche, which means Alex Newhook will stay in the top six. Makar will go back to running the top powerplay unit, and Johnson will immediately step back into a penalty killing role for the team. The Avalanche aren’t the only team they’ve made life difficult for recently.

He started independently covering hockey on sites like Reddit and Youtube in 2015 then joined the DNVR Avalanche Podcast in 2019 and hasn't looked back. A quality game all the way around left the DNVR Avalanche Podcast in high spirits. From Rockies and baseball beginnings, he has followed the Avs since they moved to Colorado in 1995.

Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar each had a goal and two assists for the Colorado Avalanche in a 3-1 win against the Arizona Coyotes at Ball Arena on Friday.

Makar's 34th multiassist game passed Tyson Barrie for second in franchise history behind Ozolinsh (35), and his 19th game-winning goal passed Barrie for the most by a defenseman in franchise history. … Keller tied Shane Doan (2007-08) and Jeremy Roenick (1999-2000) for the longest point streak in Coyotes history. … Schmaltz has 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) in the past 14 games. Keller tied it 1-1 at 18:57 when he took a pass from Nick Schmaltz between the circles with speed, deked in on Georgiev, and backhanded it over his glove. He extended his road point streak to nine games (10 goals, six assists), dating to Feb. "Second period, it really kind of started for me with the scoring chances that I liked, and then we continued it on in the third and finally got rewarded." "Their top line is dangerous, the Keller-Schmaltz line (with Barrett Hayton). "Guys are just in good spots," Makar said. "I think we did a good job, impressed by the effort. "Tonight there were like five minutes left, he does the thing where he places the puck and then skates into it. "Really good team on the other side, playing really [well] lately. "I find this season to be really impressive because [he has] different linemates all the time.
