The Avs should give DU head coach David Carle a call.

Current Avs forward Logan O’Connor last month.

Nathan MacKinnon said on Saturday after another series loss to the Stars, that the Stars had been missing their best defenseman and possibly their best forward, and they still weren’t able to beat them. He doesn’t know what they are going to do next.
