DENVER (AP) — Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar had a blunt, one-word summation after his team rallied for a 3-2 overtime win against the New York Rangers, calling it “unimpressive.”
Jack Drury, one of the key acquisitions in the Colorado Avalanche's major trade last week with the Carolina Hurricanes and Chicago Blackhawks, scored his first goal in his new uniform as his club outlasted the New York Rangers 5-4 on Sunday afternoon.
MacKinnon leads the NHL in points (77) and assists (58). Among NHL defensemen, Makar is first in goals (18), tied for first in points (56) and being for second in assists (38). Necas is seventh in the NHL in assists (41).
Martin Necas had two assists, nearly scored twice himself and excelled on the top line. Jack Drury scored a goal and centered a new-look depth line while all 12 Avs forwards played more than 10 minutes, a departure from the usual top-heavy distribution.

Jared Bednar shook up the line combinations at practice following a disappointing effort vs the New York Rangers. The Avs also placed John Ludvig on waivers. Speaking of which, a high-priced goalie in Pittsburgh was also put on waivers.
Jared Bednar has been known to rely heavily on his top forwards, often overplaying the top line to the point where some nights you wouldn't know the Avalanche were even dressing 12 forwards. That was not the case in Sunday's 5-4 win over the New York Rangers.
