After a big win against the Los Angeles Kings, the Colorado Avalanche are now in their league mandated “Bye Week,” which is followed by the NHL All-Star break. When they come back from the break, they’ll have a new winger to break-in, as Zach Parise is now officially a member of the team.

In the Ontario Hockey League, Calum Ritchie cannot be stopped, as he went off (yet again) in another Oshawa Generals victory.

All that and more in this Saturday edition of Evan’s Daily.

Colorado Hockey Now

Logan O’Connor is officially on pace for 20 goals after another big performance in Colorado’s 5-1 win over the Kings.

Prior to the game, the Avalanche confirmed that the rumors were true, and Zach Parise is now a member of the team. He’ll join them after the break.

With a big break coming up, that gives me some time to dig into Parise’s tape, and I’ll put up a film room next year for all CHN+ members. In addition to that, we’ll have plenty of other content over the break, including the first trade board for the team.

You can get a subscription to CHN+ for $29.99 a year with the code “evan10” and get access to the + content on every site in the network. In addition to the + content, everything will be ad-free, which is the biggest perk.

Calum Ritchie Unstoppable

Can the Avalanche afford to move Calum Ritchie at the NHL Trade Deadline? The goal is absolutely to win now with the core that they have, but you still need some young talent coming in on entry-level deals, and Ritchie looks like he’s got a real NHL future ahead of him.

On Friday, he put up another four point performance in a 6-5 win for the Oshawa Generals. He’s now up to 44 points in 26 games, and sits fifth in the OHL in points-per-game at 1.69.

Around The NHL

Bleacher Report released their choices for the NHL Awards at this point in the season, and yes, Nathan MacKinnon is their Hart winner.

The NHL released the Stadium Series jerseys on Friday, and maybe I’m just old, but they all seem bland and boring, outside of maybe the New York Rangers jersey.

National Hockey Now

Philadelphia made a big commitment to Owen Tippett on Friday with an eight-year, $49.6 million extension.

Expect the Nashville Predators to be active before the trade deadline, according to Barry Trotz.
