Hey, would you look at that…
Avs leap to seventh (OK, tied for 7th) in the standings. Still in the hunt. 15 games left, two against the Stars, one against the Ducks, one against the (hated) Devils, and a few more against the Canucks, who will be making life difficult for certain. Throw a few against the Wild in there, and this is going to be a tough race to top eight.
