All that and more on this edition of Deen’s Daily — October 29.

The Avs needed more from their depth and their power play and found a way to get all that in one spectacular offensive performance at Ball Arena.

The goals came from everywhere, but Victor Olofsson was the leader of the pack.

Around The NHL

Frozen Frenzy: 32 teams, 16 games. So much happened.

Rather than going into every game of the night, I figured I’d spotlight my favorite part.

Miles Wood, Columbus Blue Jackets hero.

Columbus was trailing 3-2 to the Buffalo Sabres on the road. With 6:05 remaining in regulation, Wood scored his second of the year to even the score. Then in OT, he scored again to secure the second point for his club. Wood missed some time because of an injury, but he’s now got three goals in four games this season.

Not bad for an energy depth forward.
