The Avs did it again. Nathan MacKinnon reached a milestone in the third period in Erik Johnson’s first game back. Also, Aaron Ekblad gets hit with a massive suspension.
All that and more on this edition of Deen’s Daily — March 11.
The Avs finished off a perfect 6-0-0 homestand following a 20-save shutout from Scott Wedgewood. Catch the game recap here ahead of tonight’s back-t0-back in Minnesota.
MacKinnon hit an impressive milestone. Not once, but twice (kind of).
Nice to see Johnson back in the lineup with the Avs, where he belongs. EJ met with media before the game and again reiterated his willingness to accept any role.
Johnson was one of five notable additions in the week leading up to the deadline. Here’s why their chances at making a run for the Stanley Cup have surged down the stretch.
