The Avalanche six game winning streak was snapped against the Pittsburgh Penguins with a 5-2 loss, in an uncharacteristically sloppy game, complete with the perfect mix of poor officiating and poor discipline that cost them big time. Without Cale Makar, the Avalanche have struggled, which is a big reason why 60% of NHL players named him the best defenseman in the NHL. However the Avalanche made life easy for themselves in a 5-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks earlier in the week, but lost Evan Rodrigues in process due to a concussion. In good news, Jared Bednar gets a three year extension, keeping the NHL's best coach in Colorado for the foreseeable future. Finally, the NHL inks a 10 year deal with Fanatics, how big of a disaster is this going to be?
