Some fun personal news. I’m excited to share that I’ll be covering the Colorado Avalanche for @guerillasports this season, in addition to staying on the Nuggets beat. You'll see my face on camera and hear my voice in the locker room, along with some other fun stuff throughout the year. Covering the Avs has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to do so. Can’t wait for what’s in store!

Cale Makar snipes one right past Tarasov. 4-0.

Landeskog and Seider drop the gloves and 18,000 fans in ball arena erupt in excitement.

2 goals and 3 points for Martin Necas. What a night for 88. 3-0 Colorado.

Takeaways from 2 periods of hockey for the Avs, leading 2-0: -Still takes this team some time to settle into the game -Mackenzie Blackwood was always the starter. He's settled into this season really nicely -Signs of improvement on the power play -Smart stick plays in the Avs end or neutral zone have made a big difference in creating o-zone opportunities and rushes for Colorado

Logan O'Connor is without a doubt the hardest working player on the ice for Colorado tonight. So much intensity.

The third interference call of the game and this one is on Landeskog. Red Wings to the power play.

That's back-to-back power play goals for the Avalanche who also now lead the shots on goal count 17-14. A complete script-flip in the second.

Mackinnon connects on the one-t. Another power play goal. 2-0

Kolesar is heading to the box for an interference penalty.

Noah Juulsen filling the Manson void in laying a huge neutral zone hit.

Tension released. Marty Necas cleans up a TJ Hughes rebound on the power play. 1-0 Avs.

The Avs have given up three short-handed opportunities for Detroit. One rung off the post. Puck control is lacking a little on the power play.

Now its 4v4 after the Faulk interference minor.

That was a wonderful play by O'Connor. Great stick work at the blue line, pokes it free to try and get rolling on the breakaway, and ends up drawing an interference penalty.

Schwartz gets a slashing minor and now the Red Wings get their first power play of the game.

Considering this is only game 18 and one of two times the Avs will play the Red Wings, you can really feel the tension in this building.
