Avs Hit Full Stride
The Colorado Avalanche have hit full stride. Points in ten straight vault then eight spots into the #1 slot. Nashville also takes a jump up eight spots into a playoff spot after winning eight of ten games. Teams on the move down include the Calgary Flames who have just won three of their last ten games and the Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers have won only four of their last ten games and now surprisingly find themselves out of a playoff spot.

The NHL determined it was Tim Peel’s voice on the TV broadcast of the Predators home game against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night after Nashville forward Viktor Arvidsson was issued a minor tripping penalty five minutes into the second period. “It wasn’t much, but I wanted to get a fucking penalty against Nashville early in the,” the official was heard saying before the audio cut off. Peel worked the game with referee Kelly Sutherland. “There is no justification for his comments, no matter the context or intention,” Campbell said.
