Kyle Dubas might lose his job this offseason for a whole lot of reasons, but somewhere on the list should be giving away Malgin for Dryden Hunt 1-for-1. Two goals to give him a career-high 12 on the season. Hunt was just fine and his goal was a major jolt for the Avalanche. They didn’t take advantage of him and beat him up in shot metrics or in any other way. In a game where few did, Hunt also held his own at 5v5 against the Kings. Just an absolute laser that found its way over Copley’s shoulder. Put out there for an offensive-zone draw, Hunt took the puck from Lars Eller and smoked it past Pheonix Copley. His biggest asset as a positive beyond the typical veteran intangible stuff is his ability to wire a puck. What makes a guy like Hunt so valuable is you are pretty comfortable with what you’re going to get from him. Not a bad debut season and tonight was certainly one of his very best.Ĭalled up on an emergency basis when it was announced Bowen Byram was sick, Hunt made the trek from San Jose, where the Eagles were playing this weekend, and slid right into Colorado’s lineup. He probably only plays twice more this season but if he wins both, he would tie Patrick Roy’s 2000-01 season for second-most in Avs history. When the team in front of him finally started playing well, he didn’t do anything to undo their quality work or his own. Georgiev stopped him.Ī lot of weird stuff happened in this game as the ice was terrible and the universe’s sense of humor was set to 11, but Georgiev controlled what he could and locked it down. He made a number of huge stops on Grade-A chances in this game, including just moments into the game when suddenly Arthur Kaliyev was completely alone with the puck in the slot.

I’ve no problems with the first two goals on him and even the third, which I think he could have played better, my frustrations on the play begin well before Georgiev even gets involved.

What do you say about the only Avs player who even bothered to show up for the first period of the game? He was Colorado’s brightest star tonight and the biggest reason the Avs walked out with two points.
