Something lost in the Avalanches' 6-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins is the solution to their first line left wing problem.
Two weeks ago coach Joe Sacco tried to put Matt Duchene on the wing with Paul Stastny and Milan Hejduk. The result of this experiment was Duchene's first ever hat trick Nov. 5 in Dallas. Most people said that Duchene on the wing would not work but his numbers are proving...

Too early for goal of the year labels? Nonsense. Check out the two nasty goals that were put on display during the Penguins-Avalanche matchup on Tuesday and decide which tickles your fancy more. Evgeni Malkin's goal is featured in the video above and shows him undressing a defender and the Avalanche goalie with two dirty dekes before hitting the twine.

ST. PAUL, MINN. – Above is some video of Brandon Yip at the morning skate just now, scoring a goal on Semyon Varlamov.
Yip will make his season debut for the Avalanche tonight against the Wild. Who will sit to make room for him? Coach Joe Sacco is still undecided on that. We’ll see when the lineup sheet is announced before the game tonight.

Colorado Avalanche (8-8-1) @ Pittsburgh Penguins (10-4-3)
7:30 pm/et
TV: Versus, TSN2
CONSOL Energy Center, Pittsburgh, PA
It looks like Tyler Kennedy may be in the line-up tonight, proving once and for all that his brain is tougher than Sidney Crosby's brain. Of course, Kennedy isn't a Ferrari, so he can probably just go to a regular mechanic...

Over the weekend, Matt Duchene was asked how exciting it might be to play in a game during which Pittsburgh Penguins mega-star Sidney Crosby makes his return after a nearly 11-month absence due to concussion symptoms.

Colorado Avalanche coach Joe Sacco called it a bad break. Minnesota Wild counterpart Mike Yeo said luck had nothing to do with it. Either way you look at it, Devin Setoguchi scored the game's lone goal with 2:31 left and lifted the Minnesota Wild to a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night.

Hello, friends.
When I saw that this game was on the schedule, I got very excited. I grew up watching the Avs play and hearing about my mom's inappropriate hockey crushes, so when I saw they were coming to Pittsburgh, I immediately called dibs on this game.
Also, I must give Mom a hat tip for the title of this post, as Piano Man is one of her favorite songs.
