Avalanche's Chaotic Friday: A Rollercoaster of Emotions

Josh Manson, once a key defensive player for the Colorado Avalanche, is struggling this season, negatively impacting his defensive partner Sam Girard's performance. Manson's decision-making has been inconsistent, contributing to defensive lapses. Meanwhile, Alexandar Georgiev has returned strong from injury, and Sam Malinski is showing promise. However, Justus Annunen and Ivan Ivan are facing challenges in their roles, while Parker Kelly's strong play has reduced Ivan's minutes.
