In The Cheap Seats

Colorado currently has the 7th best penalty killing unit in the NHL, allowing just 4 goals in 37 chances. Here are the unofficial breakdowns for the Avs players - listing their minutes played on the kill, goals allowed on the kill, and their “goals against average” while on the kill. Only two players, Wojtek Wolski and Ossi Vanannen have yet to log even a second of ice time while shorthanded.

Bear with me on the formatting - I’ll something a little easier to read as the season goes on…
