The Denver Post

Avalanche outshoots Jets by 16, but Winnipeg whomps Colorado 5-0 behind Blake Wheeler’s hat trick

Special teams and goalkeeping often saved the Avalanche throughout the month of November. The penalty kill suddenly thrived after its slow start to the season, and Colorado’s league-leading power play was vicious enough to mask occasional 5-on-5 deficiencies.

Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar lead charge for Avalanche in 4-0 win over Capitals

WASHINGTON — Nicolas Aube-Kubel and Darcy Kuemper know better than anyone else living in the nation’s capital what Nathan MacKinnon can do with a puck. They were witnesses to his brilliance for one season, the longest season of his career at that. The season he went coast-to-coast for a playoff…
