The Avalanche recorded their 40th win of the season in just 54 games. Aarif and J.J. break down how it all happened against the New York Islanders at Ball Arena. They also chat about Jack Johnson’s 1000th ceremony and the team’s appreciation for him. The guys then talk Nathan MacKinnon’s recent run, Darcy Kuemper’s play and specifics from Tuesday’s victory, including the overturned New York goal. Aarif closes out the show with a story about Jared Bednar’s character. All that and more on this edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.
