Everyone knew it was just a matter of time before the Colorado Avalanche made their charge.
The Avs have won five in a row, are 7-1-2 in their last 10, and now trail the Dallas Stars by just three points for the top spot in the Central Division.But the Avs are not the only contender that looks like it put things together after some bumps and bruises. The Vegas Golden Knights are 6-1-3 in their last 10 contests and are back atop theColorado is a -140 favorite over Vegas on Monday night at 9 p.m. ET. It will be broadcasted live on ESPN+ and NHLPP.Golden Knights vs.
A peculiar thing about this surge from the Avalanche is that they are not really driving play like we’re accustomed to seeing from them over the past few seasons. Colorado has skated to a +8 goal differential at 5-on-5 over its last 10 games, but its expected goals difference is basically even. The Avs have created 23.1 xG over that span and surrendered 23.9 xGA. Quietly, Alexandar Georgiev is turning in a terrific season for the Avs, thanks in large part to his current form.
Georgiev’s timing couldn’t have been better, either, as the Avs are still being bit with the injury bug. Cale Makar, Gabriel Landeskog and Erik Johnson all remain out for the Avs. Vegas, too, has dealt with an array of injuries all season. The Golden Knights are currently without starting goaltender Logan Thompson and first-line winger Mark Stone. The Knights did help address the Stone-sized hole in their top-six with a move for Ivan Barbashev, however.
