Avalanche are first team to clinch a playoff spot, get to 100 points on the season, and more importantly - now with a 4 point lead, really 4.5 with the tiebreaker, on the division finally at equal games played with Dallas (though that changes by Sunday ).

It feels weird to think Sunday is likely the last time we play against Ovi.

Mammoth meat isn't too bad when it's slow roasted 4-1

I’ll never say this ever again - thank you, Wild!

Avs with a 3.5 point lead and a game in hand. Magic number is 23 unless my math is off. We will have the tiebreaker.

Ovi gets #1000 and Avs get another 2 points.

Hopefully Vegas breaks the Pacific out of their winless streak tonight!

MacKinnon has been the odds on favorite pretty much all season, even when McDavid has had the lead.

One would think that if the Avs clinch the Central, it’ll be largely on the performance of MacKinnon, and if the points are close it probably goes to him. Though, like most years, all three mentioned would be deserving.

Landeskog said that he needed a “quick surgery to fix a few things” after that Makar slapper to the jewels.

He came back in the game after that.

I’ll never understand the toughness of hockey players, but coming back with broken nuts is a bit more than I would’ve otherwise expected

And just like that, Avs have a game in hand and a 5 point lead again. Thank you, Vegas!

Avs finishing out this road trip with another win might be all she wrote.

Exciting game tonight between Ducks and Sabres.

The Pacific is hot garbage, but I think Anaheim has shown to be the most capable team within it.

Colton back for the Avs tonight and LOC is making his season debut. Kadri is bumping back to C.

Only missing Lehky now.

Just have to keep them healthy and hope that LOC can ramp up to his prior form - which is a tough ask after missing almost an entire season.

I expect some growing pains as the lines gel together and Bednar inevitably Blendars... But the Avs need some revenge energy tonight after that terrible showing last time against Pittsburgh.

Looking good so far- Avs look like they will get some more separation from Dallas,who are getting waxed.

And we did just that as Dallas shite the bed at home.

7 point lead, game in hand, tiebreaker almost clinched. 15 point magic number currently.

Lehky sounds to be back Thursday. If not, held off to return back in Denver.

Great response by the boys

Yes 'twas a good night. Avs just need to get/stay healthy and keep up good form.

Playoff races heating up nicely, especially in the East. Columbus and Ottawa are coming on strong while Islanders and Detroit are struggling. IMO Detroit is done.

The WC2 in the West now seems to be between Nashville and LA with Seattle and San Jose fading down the stretch.

The good and bad thing about the compressed schedule is that things can change quickly with so many games being played in a short time.

Magic number now 11, and about out of reach for Dallas.

Beautiful time for AVS to surge and Stars to sink.
Best road trip ever.
9 points with a game in hand.

And Jeff Odgers will be healthy soon.
