The Chicago Blackhawks came into Denver with the possibility of overtaking the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference standings. A win for Colorado, icing on the cake. The Avs had some key players sitting out again tonight, among them Adam Foote and Milan Hejduk. Paul Stastny was back in the lineup after a night up, but his number of minutes was cut from normal.
Darcy Tucker has returned from the injured reserved list and the Avalanche brought their skating legs to Chicago this evening against the Blackhawks. We saw two fights and two goals in the first period along with some good old hockey playing. The reason I mention a brewing rivalry is just how these teams are playing each other this season. Both are young teams who push each other at both ends of the ice.
