The Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars delivered another playoff-style battle.

Meghan Angley is joined by more members of the Guerilla Sports team - Mark Robinson and Avery Coates - to break down the Avalanche’s latest matchup with Dallas, including postgame insight from Cale Makar, Scott Wedgewood, and Jared Bednar. Makar’s power-play goal marked his fourth 20-goal season, continuing a historic run among NHL defensemen.

Despite controlling possession and outshooting Dallas, the Avs were stung by a quick-strike response from Jason Robertson highlighting the razor-thin margin for error against this Stars team.

We dig into:

What worked, what didn't, the evolving goalie debate between Wedgewood and Blackwood, and key player trends.

Plus, with the Stars closing the gap in the standings, we zoom out to the bigger picture:

Can Colorado solve Dallas, and more importantly, can they beat Jake Oettinger when it matters most?

We wrap with a quick preview of the upcoming matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks and what to watch for as the Avalanche enter the final stretch of the season.

The Colorado Avalanche are back at Ball Arena after a bizarre road trip that included a big win in Seattle, a frustrating loss in Winnipeg, and travel issues that left the team stuck on a plane for 10 hours. Jesse Montano and Meghan Angley break down everything from the Avs’ weekend, the team’s ongoing penalty kill and goaltending conversations, and what comes next with Pittsburgh and Dallas on deck.

They also react to Jared Bednar’s comments on the goalie rotation, discuss whether there’s been a subtle shift in tone around Mackenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood, and dive into the importance of bottom-six production down the stretch. Plus, Jesse and Meghan catch up with Parker Kelly to talk about the penalty kill reset, his own game, the new-look lineup, and how the Avalanche are starting to gel after the deadline.
