Fifteen: Colorado (7th Central)

Matt Duchene has certainly proven himself to be that fast dangerous forward - on a team like Los Angeles or Chicago or even the New York Rangers, this kid is top 8 in scoring. Something is not working in Colorado - perhaps, it's coach Patrick Roy at the helm. Perhaps it's too much reliance on aged stars. Mix of all of it, probably. This team can dump a lot at the trade deadline.

Record: 12 - 16 - 1 25pts ( projected: 14 - 19 - 2 30pts)

Significant Injuries:
Gabriel Landeskog LW

Minor injury, so it seems. If not, this is a big hit to a team that can't take any more big hits.

Next Fifteen Days 12/12/2015 - 12/26/2015:
Saturday at Nashville
Sunday at St Louis
Tuesday at Chicago
Thursday New York Islanders visit
Saturday Edmonton visits
Monday Toronto visits

If they don't get three wins in this fifteen days, well, even if they do - they are pretty much out of it.

5 out of 12pts

2 - 3 - 1

Last Fifteen Days 11/27/2015 - 12/11/2015:
WIN 5 - 3 Winnipeg
LOSS 3 - 5 at New York Islanders
WIN 2 - 1 at New Jersey
WIN 2 - 1 at New York Rangers
LOSS 0 - 3 at Minnesota
WIN 2 - 1 Minnesota
LOSS 2 - 4 Pittsburgh

4 - 3 - 0

8 out of 14pts

Sometime it looks like this team is turning the corner and will start winning. But 8 out of 14 points is not going to get them far from the basement. Wins at New Jersey and the Rangers and home to Minnesota certainly keep them from being totally depressing. They have a long way to go.
