NHL Season Secrets: Uncover the Surprising Strengths, Hidden Weaknesses, and Game-Changing X Factors for Every Team
The Avs entered training camp with $1.325 million in cap space. It’s possible they could use that money now, or wait until forward Logan O’Connor returns to get a true feel for their bottom six before making a decision about their third-line center concerns and potentially trading for the solution.
This season hinges on… Mackenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood being as good or better than they were last season. Just look at what happened to them last October. The Avs opened last season with a four-game losing streak during which they allowed 25 goals. They ended October and began November by starting three different goalies in consecutive games, en route to losing all three. Winning just three of those games would have given the Avs six points — and two more than the Stars, which could have given them home-ice advantage in an opening-round series that saw them lose Game 7 in Dallas.
