Avalanche fans have had some brutal games to watch this last week, with the last Avs win more than a week ago.
The Colorado Avalanche made a great comeback to beet the Dallas Stars, last Wednesday, March 20. Since that win, the Avalanche have not been able to pull a "W" for a whole week.
In the past week the Avalanche have been defeated by the Vancouver Cannucks twice, and the Calgary Flames once.
It seems to be a similar pattern each game: our first period is awful, and once we warm up for the second our defense seems to be falling apart. Against Calgary, Wednesday night, the Avalanche were out shot 14-2 by the Flames in the first period alone.
Another noticeable factor, is the fact that we haven't been taking advantage of our power play opportunities. In both the games against Vancouver, Sunday night, and Calgary, Wednesday night, the Avalanche were given five power play opportunities and only scored on one of them.
Even though the Avalanche seem to currently be in a slump, the same slump they've been fighting all season long, power-forward P.A. Parenteau keeps hitting his mark and giving fans something to cheer about.
Parenteau is currently on a four game point streak. In the last week alone, against Vancouver and Calgary, he had four assists and one goal.
Parenteau has clearly impacted this team made his mark. Parenteau currently leads the team in overall points(34), goals(14) and assists (20). He is closely followed in all three of these categories by fellow forward, Matt Duchene.
Hopefully Parenteau can extend his streak to five games, when the Colorado Avalanche take on the Nashville Predators Saturday afternoon.
