Avalanche Need More From Necas, Nelson, And Kadri To Get Back Into Western Conference Finals

"Colorado Avalanche Fans on Edge as Stanley Cup Hopes Rest on Unlikely Heroes. Despite the superstar talent of Nathan MacKinnon, the Avalanche's chances of advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals against Vegas are dwindling, and it's not just the lack of offense from their star center that's causing concern. With MacKinnon's production slowing down, the team is counting on a trio of veteran forwards - Martin Necas, Nazem Kadri, and Brock Nelson - to step up and provide the desperately needed spark that could turn the series around. Can these unsung heroes rise to the occasion and lead the Avalanche to a comeback victory, or will Vegas' strong defense prove too much to overcome?"

The Colorado Avalanche’s Stanley Cup hopes hinge on more than just star center Nathan MacKinnon. To come back in their Western Conference final series against Vegas, the Avalanche need veteran forwards Martin Necas, Nazem Kadri and Brock Nelson to step up and provide desperately-needed offense.
