By all means, last night’s game was anticipated as a big test for the rising Sharks. The Sharks hadn’t won in Denver since early 2019, and this current iteration of the Colorado Avalanche, nestled in the Mile High City, are a mile ahead of the rest of its NHL peers. Not to be outdone, the Sharks were playing some of their best hockey in years this November, including handing the Avalanche their only loss of the month coming into this matchup. But even with this surge of strength, Macklin Celeb...

It’s Thanksgiving, at least among some of the lesser hockey countries. So today, I’m going to list a reason that I’m thankful for each NHL team. That’s it. No gimmicks, or clever twists. I promise I’m not even going to do the “Thanks for reminding us it could always be worse” backhanded compliment thing to anyone. Just one sincere, if slightly bizarre, reason to say a quick thanks to every team.

The San Jose Sharks visit the best team in the NHL in a measuring stick game that will show how well San Jose stacks up against the Colorado Avalanche. San Jose has already done something that only a few teams in the National Hockey League have done to date and that’s beat the Avs, who have a 16-1-5 record and an .841 points percentage. The Sharks won 3-2 in overtime on Nov. 1. That game happened at SAP Center when Mackenzie Blackwood had just returned to the net for the Avalanche. This time, ...

The Blackhawks… dominated(?) the first period. Colorado was credited with two shots on net, and the Blackhawks had a 4-0 advantage in 5-on-5 high danger chances and 9-4 advantage in scoring chances. But neither team put a goal on the board.
The Avs predictably pushed back in the second period, and dominated the puck as much as the Blackhawks did in the first. Chicago was able to keep them off the board for 18 minutes and chance, but Spencer Knight made a bad decision to play a puck he sho...
