Avalanche were being billed as the "hottest team" in the NHL, going 8-0-2 in their last 10 games before losing 5-2 to the Sharks last night. Who did they beat:
- Devils (missed playoffs)
- Wild (missed playoffs)
- Stars
- Blackhawks (missed playoffs)
- Golden Knights
- Coyotes (missed playoffs)
- Oilers (missed playoffs)
- Jets
Not exactly running the gauntlet; also included was an OT loss to the Blackhawks (and a shootout loss to the Blues).
Prior to that 10 game "heater", they went 2-5-0, with shutout losses to the Stars and Hurricanes, and two regulation losses to the lowly Ducks. Their two wins also came against the non-playoff teams -- Wings (OT) and Sabres.
