Thursday, December 5th

General Observations

B2B Situation: The Colorado Avalanche are the only team playing on the tail-end of back-to-back games this evening.

Artemi Panarin has been held off the scoresheet in two straight games, but the Bread Man still owns a team-high 33 points (12 goals and 21 assists) in 26 games this season. Tonight, he should have a little bit extra pep in his step as he’ll square off against his former team the Columbus Blue Jackets since leaving them this last offseason.
