Deen’s Daily: Hush the Crosby to Avalanche Rumors; Avs Get Much-Needed Day Off; Heiskanen Hurt
The Avalanche finally have a day off. It’s also a good time to (again) slow down on the Crosby trade rumors. Also, Dallas’ top defenseman was injured on an ugly play and another defenseman in Montreal also suffered an injury.
All that and more on this edition of Deen’s Daily — January 29.
Colorado Hockey Now
The road trip is finally over and the Avalanche have a chance to regroup with a day off in Denver following an emotional four days. On Tuesday, the third period got away from them in a 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders.
Aside from good health for Valeri Nichushkin (and perhaps Gabriel Landeskog), what else does Colorado need? Catch my updated trade board, released on Monday following the Mikko Rantanen trade.
Around the NHL
Heiskanen Hurt: Dirty play in the Dallas — Vegas game on Tuesday. Mark Stone tripped Miro Heiskanen and injured the Stars’ top defenseman. Stone seemed to get tripped before falling into Heiskanen but it’s a bad play all around and would sting if the Stars miss him for any period of time.

Montreal Hockey Now: The Habs got goalie’d by Connor Hellebuyck and lost a defenseman to injury in the process. Tough game for a team fighting for a playoff spot.
