Avalanche Reunite with Kadri, Host Pittsburgh

On this March 15th, here's what's making headlines for the NHL.

The Colorado Avalanche grab headlines with their big trade deadline move,

reuniting with 35-year-old center Nazem Kadri from the Calgary Flames.

The veteran brings championship experience from their 2022 Stanley Cup win,

plus leadership and scoring punch, even with the Flames,

keeping 20% of his $7 million salary.

Coach Jared Bednar wasted no time centering him with Nathan McKinnon

and their old spark is already showing on the ice.

Earlier this week, McKinnon caught a break when the league overturned a game misconduct

from their March 10th clash with the Edmonton Oilers. He bumped into Goli Conor Ingram,

after defenseman Darno Nurse shoved him into the crease,

so no automatic suspension hangs over him now.

Fans and analysts are buzzing about the Avalanche's strong season,

even after a three-to-one road loss to the Winnipeg Jets on March 14.

McKinnon's on an MVP track with 109 points, including 44 goals and 65 assists in just 64 games.

Offseason pickup, Martin Neckis has chipped in 80 points,

boosting the offense big time.

On the prospect front, Colorado locked in 23-year-old Swedish defenseman

Gustav Sternberg to a two-year entry-level contract.

Fresh off college at Bowling Green State University,

he'll wrap this season in the American hockey league with the Colorado Eagles

before jumping to. The NHL in 2026-27.

The abs face a packed week with four games to shake off that Jets defeat.

They host Pittsburgh on Monday at 9.30 p.m. Eastern,

then Dallas on Wednesday, same time at ball arena.

It's road trips after that to Chicago Friday at 8.30 p.m.

and Washington Sunday at 12.30 p.m.
