Which is uglier; that they had only four goals by defensemen all season or Semyon Varlamov going 1-14-2 on the road?

The Avs are playing spoiler. Recently they have beaten Vancouver, St. Louis and took Columbus and Anaheim to overtime. They finish with St. Louis, Phoenix and Minnesota. That's what they have to play for.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere ripped into his team and it seemed to work. Playing an awfully tough three-game stretch of at Anaheim, at LA and vs. Vancouver, the Avs took five of six points. The downside is they have lost the No. 1 draft pick top odds.

Of the last 20 points available, the Avs have earned four and frankly, they were lucky to even get four. They won a game where they didn't score a goal in regulation, not the most traditional path to wins.

Is the season lost at this point? Well let's put it this way, beat writer Adrian Dater suggested the team tank to get a top draft pick. That probably says it all.

Matt Duchene and PA Parenteau have been terrific. The rest of the Avs? Not as much. They're alone in the West's basement after a week of good vibes with that win over Chicago. Reality bites.

The Avs get a bump because they did what nobody else could, keep the Blackhawks pointless in a game, but before that they had lost six of seven (three beyond regulation).

The bad news? They have lost four of their past five games. The good news? They have points in their last four games. Gotta love the NHL points system ... It's nice to have a guy like Ryan O'Reilly back but how long before he's up to speed and back where he was? Not easy to step right in.

In a testament to how good the Western Conference is, they're 14th and yet only three points back of eighth ... That probably just means they aren't good enough to make the postseason but a little too good to get a top draft pick.

The Avs are just a pretty unremarkable team, and not a ton jumps at you either way. That's not a good thing. Gabriel Landeskog can't come back soon enough.

There were an increasing number of reasons to get excited about what the Avs can do this season and then Ryan O'Reilly headed to the KHL and still doesn't have a contract. ... The potential of a Gabriel Landeskog-Matt Duchene-P.A. Parenteau line is great.
