Get ready to refill your popcorn, Avs fans, as your Colorado Avalanche have been putting on a show on offense thus far this season.

Avalanche

While the Avas won't have everyone back in the lineup tonight against the Coyotes, they're getting back both Cale Makar and Erik Johnson

Wednesday night is what makes sports fun; just when narratives about the Nuggets and Avs were developing, each team flipped the script

In a percentage gap that wasn't even close, 63.9% of respondents deemed Makar the best defenseman in the NHL; receiving nearly 400 votes

How the Avs have survived the worst and how Jared Bednar is the most interesting coach in Denver sports history.

While Helm's certainly not a top player on the Avalanche, he's a glue guy who proved he can come up big in the most tense moments
