A Weekend of Shutouts For the Lumberyard. Avs Win Streak Reaches 9 After Blanking the Blackhawks

Colorado Avalanche silence Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators with back-to-back shutouts—can their goaltending dominance fuel a deep playoff push? Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson spotlight Scott Wedgewood and Mackenzie Blackwood’s stellar performances, dissecting how the Avalanche overcame grueling road back-to-backs and first-period struggles to secure all four points, despite a quiet power play.

Key discussions cover Cale Makar’s jaw-dropping goal, pivotal saves from both Avalanche and Blackhawks netminders, and the rare overturn of a late-game penalty. The hosts explore Colorado’s ability to win in different styles, their defensive improvements, and the psychological edge they’re building for the postseason. Listener reactions, stat breakdowns, and sound check picks round out an engaging look at why the Avalanche are the consensus NHL frontrunner. Will their resilience and elite goaltending hold up in the playoffs?
