Kraken vs. Avalanche: Depth Pieces and Coaching Decisions in Game 2.

The Colorado Avalanche need better performances from some key depth players, including Alex Newhook, Josh Manson, Alexandar Georgiev, and Valeri Nichushkin, if they want to be successful in the NHL playoffs. With Gabriel Landeskog out for the entire postseason, the Avs need more depth scoring and strong defensive play. Nichushkin, in particular, needs to step up and produce more offensively. Some suggested lineup changes could help boost the team's performance, but ultimately, the players need to perform at a higher level.
