I said to myself: Man I had no idea that Avs had such weak defense. Then i look at the IR and say Ohhhhhhh

This could be a good thing as long as they remain in the playoff picture. Newhook is now forced to step up his game, it won't be instantaneous but perhaps he will break out. It's also a test for the rest of the roster too. Many teams only have 3 solid defenders in their top 4.

yes injuries are reallyyyyyyyyyyy killing them

The Avs are without Josh Manson, Bowen Byram, and Kurtis MacDermid and they still have one of the better defence groups in the NHL.

just as long as we arent playing the Bruins, Flyers, Jets or Canucks

Maltsev is also injured and is out for the next 2 months.

good to know

Right. It's the forwards who are just not NHL caliber. Its painful to watch
