Player Spotlight: Ian Cole

Cole registered his first goal in an Avalanche sweater against the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night. The defenseman ranks second in the league with 43 blocked shots, while his 3.1 blocked shots per game is tied for third. Cole's 19:09 of time on ice per game is seventh for Colorado and fourth among Avs blueliners. He averages 4:12 of short-handed time on ice per game is tops on the team and part of Colorado's fifth-ranked penalty-kill unit.

Quotable

"They're a good team, great D-corps, quite a few forwards that can score, great goalie. But I like the way we matched up against them last year, the way we played against them. We were really strong. It should be a good game tomorrow." - Avalanche forward Colin Wilson on Tuesday night's game against the league-leading Nashville Predators
