Avalanche of Goals
So far, so good for Colorado fans. With Paul Stastny and T.J. Hensick leading the NHL in pre-season points prior to Sunday’s games and with newcomer Jaroslav Hlinka leading in assists, the Avalanche offense looks like a force to be reckoned with.

Four Players You Should Learn to Love
The players on this list are generally not the most liked among hockey fans. This often leads to them slipping later on in fantasy leagues, as a lot of people pick their favourite players over other skaters who may be more beneficial to their fantasy squad.
