Pierre-Luc Dubois, C/LW, WSH at CGY (40% rostered) McMichael went through a very long quiet stretch through December and he's yet to score a goal since Jan. 4, but over the past four games he's managed to rack up four assists.

Colorado used an avalanche of goals to beat the Dallas Stars 6-3 at Ball Arena on Saturday. Artturi Lehkonen posted a season-high four points and Casey Mittelstadt added three points while Jonathan Drouin and Cale Makar each scored the 100th regular-season goal of their respective careers.

I apologize – as a podcaster behind the Stanley25 podcast – for not being a bit more like David Reinbacher. Like our first-round pick in 2023, Jean Trudel and I have the unfortunate habit of disappearing for several weeks (or even months) between our happy and active segments.

Drouin scored a goal and added two assists in a 6-3 win over Dallas on Saturday.

BOTTOM LINE: The Colorado Avalanche look to break a three-game skid with a victory against the New York Rangers. New York has a 12-9-2 record in home games and a 24-20-4 record overall. The Rangers have gone 5-3-0 when they serve fewer penalty minutes than their opponent.

The Colorado Avalanche should add Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall to the top-six ahead of the March 7 NHL Trade Deadline.
