GAME STORY | Against a shell of the Blackhawks’ former selves, the Avs sailed to a 5-0 win Monday night at Ball Arena behind Alexandar Georgiev’s 26-save shutout, his fifth of the season.
The Chicago Blackhawks look unrecognizable, even from the team that delivered a gut check to Colorado’s season in January. The Avalanche have looked unbeatable since then.
“Definitely pretty confident right now, and we know some of the opponents are fighting for their jobs and maybe don’t have much to lose,” Georgiev said. “It’s important for us to approach every game like an important one and not let it slide.” They have the best record in the NHL since that day, punctuated by their current six-game win streak.
The Blackhawks were already tanking at that point. But they truly accelerated between Avalanche matchups, trading Patrick Kane, Max Domi, Sam Lafferty and Jake McCabe before the deadline.
