Burkoski, Kadri, Landeskog, Nichuskin all subtracted and Lars Eller and Evan Rodrigues in. That's missing a lot of horsepower up front. They're still good on the backend and Makar will be looking to atone for letting his team down. So they could still win this. But Seattle has no pressure and the Avalanche have not been great with their back to the wall.

I think they were expecting Landeskog back by February. It was surprising to me to hear that he was out for the entire season. He is a key player and their captain. That's a big loss.
