3 Takeaways from Avalanche’s 8-4 Win Over the Devils

The Colorado Avalanche have had an interesting run so far. On one hand, they have 14 points, good for second-most in the Western Conference. On the other hand, they have lost their last four, including one to their Tuesday night opponent, the New Jersey Devils.

They got good news beforehand with the return of Mackenzie Blackwood, though he wound up taking backup duties for Scott Wedgewood. The Avalanche left little doubt in this one, absolutely dominating the Devils en route to an 8-4 victory.

Arguably the Best Scoring Depth in the NHL

We rightfully talk about the high-end firepower that the Avalanche have. That said, they are capable of pouring it on because they have the depth to get contributions from throughout the lineup. Victor Olofsson’s first career NHL hattrick is evidence of that.
