Aarif Deen and J.J. Jerez are back to break down the Avs’ winning streak extending to four games and the injury list blowing way past that number. The guys start the show with an explanation of LTIR and how the cap numbers work. Aarif explains why the team is making the moves they’re making to navigate the salary cap. They then share their list of five players that have stepped up over the past couple of weeks and five that still leave you wanting more. The show ends with a preview of Monday’s battle against St. Louis. All that and more on this long Sunday edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.
