THE STORY


The Avalanche are coming off a 2-1 SO win against the Oilers and are rolling with a 6-2-2 record in their last 10. They are trying to continue to improve against the injury ravaged Blue Jackets.

The Jackets played last night and lost 6-3 to the struggling Arizona Coyotes. A back-to-back in the Mile High will provide them an extra challenge tonight.

LAST SEASON

This season Jackets are 16-17-3 (35p) and the Avalanche are 15-15-8 (38p) in their first 36 and 38 games respectively.

Last season the Jackets went 15-17-4 in their first 36.
The Avalanche went 23-11-4 in their opening 38 games last season.

The Jackets are 1 point better off this season.
The Avalanche are 12 points worse off this season.

LINE-UP NEWS

Varlamov gets the start in the net and Redmond stays as a healthy scratch. The Avs change their lines a bit with Borna Rendulic getting a chance on the 2nd line with Landeskog and Duchene.

The Jackets have lots of injuries, including Nathan Horton, who hasn't been able to play at all this season due to a serious back problem.
Curtis McElhinney gets the nod in net.

I'm hearing Bob isn't starting and Goulobef is in. Might make other changes as well.

Interesting choice of topic for sure. :laugh:

I'll share what was told to me last time, you can change it yourself by double-clicking the title on the Avs forum page.

I'd rather lose 6-7 with MacKinnon and Duchene each getting 3 goals than the Avs win. A loss would be worth it if the trade off is Razor and Dutch getting it going.

Has it been talked about that Chambers thinks Rendulic has played in the KHL?
He wrote otherwise a nice piece on him, but that stood out really badly.

He probably got confused because Rendulic has played in Medvescak Zagreb, but they were not then part of the KHL.

It was decent, got some good quotes out of him at least. I know he's written at least 3x prior that Rendulic had never played outside of Croatia but probably in speaking to him Rendulic brought it up about Finland. Seems like he had a few offers and didn't know who to pick so he went with us because he liked David Oliver.

Interesting. Dater pegged four of those teams as interested, and while he may not write or interview well some of his predictions are good.
