For 236 days, the Colorado Avalanche was a Stanley Cup contender during the 2023-24 NHL season.
Dallas Stars left wing Jamie Benn gets around Colorado Avalanche goaltender Alexandar Georgiev and scores a goal in the third period during Game 6 of the second round of the 2024 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at Ball Arena in Denver on Friday, May 17, 2024. The calculus changed on Day 237, and the memories of how this campaign unraveled in swift fashion may only be rivaled by the what ifs and what could have beens in the decades to come.
Jamie Benn evened this game at 1-1 just 1:54 into the third period. Evgenii Dadonov made a great backhand pass to Benn as he cut to the net, and the Stars captain tucked a backhanded shot past Georgiev. Then Valeri Nichushkin was suspended for at least six months just before the start of Game 4. And Devon Toews could not play because of illness. Game 4 was a washout.
If there was a comeback player of the year award in the NHL, Jonathan Drouin would be a top contender. Samuel Girard found the help he needed, and played the best hockey of his career.
