Not to rain on the parade because I certainly hope they start to get hot (especially now, talk about getting hot at the right time); but:
- team has won 3 games in a row only twice this year, once in October and the other December
- a long winning streak is IMO needed, mostly for confidence purposes but also to build momentum and increase that "belief" feeling in the room
Markstrom starting to play like Markstrom is obviously the biggest difference maker and if he is truly back; watch out- this team could be a dark horse... kind of exciting but IMO this next game, for confidence and belief reasons, is absolutely MASSIVE. Next game is must win, undoubtedly- and I really worry they're going to take the Ducks lightly when they should be treating them as if they're playing the Avalanche.
