Related: Fan Art, Featured Artist, Game Art, GiveawayVANCOUVER — A 62.5% power play will win you hockey games. The Avalanche used that percentage to finish 2-0 against the Vancouver Canucks in less than a week.
On Wednesday at Rogers Place, the Avalanche scored three power-play goals and got big games from forwards Mikko Rantanen and Nazem Kadri and defenseman Cale Makar to defeat the Canucks for the second time in six nights.
The Avs went 3-for-5 on the power play in a 4-2 victory to begin a two-game road trip. Colorado (7-5-1), which has points in six of its last seven games (5-1-1), was 2-for-3 on the power play in last Thursday’s 7-1 win over the Canucks at Ball Arena.
“Tonight was one of our better nights on the power play,” Kadri said.
Kadri and Makar scored man-advantage goals in a 53-second span early in the third period, shortly after Vancouver used a fortunate bounce on goalie Darcy Kuemper to take its only lead of the game. Avs captain Gabe Landeskog added an empty-net goal with 10 seconds remaining to complete the three-goal rally from a 2-1 deficit.
Rantanen, who scored the first power-play goal for a 1-0 lead in the first period, matched Kadri with a three-point night. Makar and Landeskog each had a goal and two points.
Kuemper (30 saves) was certainly one of Colorado’s best players.
“They played well tonight. I think they gave themselves a chance,” Kadri said of the Canucks, who outshot the Avs 11-4 to finish the first period and 15-7 in the second. “Kuemps made some outrageous saves for us that really picked the bench up. We were able to capitalize on that energy. That’s what we need from him. He’s capable, and especially without a healthy team, we’re going to need that.”
It was the Avs’ first regular-season game in Canada since March 6, 2020, when they lost 6-3 to the Canucks. Vancouver lost its fifth consecutive game.
“It didn’t come easy for us tonight but we stuck with it on a few occasions and were able to capitalize on a few nice plays from our guys,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said. “Give them credit. They’ve put the work in behind the scenes in practice and the video room and it’s starting to come together without a few of our regulars in there. Other guys are stepping up. We get different contributions from different guys here tonight and the power play and penalty kill (3-for-3) were definitely a huge part of that win.”
The Avs came out strong, producing eight of the first nine shots and taking a 1-0 lead at 7:17 of the first period. The goal came from Rantanen on the power play, after Makar clanged a shot off the right post. Rantanen collected the rebound off Makar’s shot and beat goalie Thatcher Demko with a wrist shot from the right circle.
The Avs entered the game ranked 27th in the league in power-play percentage (15.2) and the Canucks were last in penalty killing (62.3%).
Kadri got the second assist on Rantanen’s goal, extending his points streak to seven games. That’s tied for the second-longest of his career.
Kadri, however, ruined a glorious chance for the Avs to have a 5-on-3 power play and break a 1-1 tie late in the second period. After Vancouver’s Tyler Motte was called for tripping and joining teammate Bo Horvat in the penalty box, Kadri was called for interference off the offensive-zone faceoff to trim the man-advantage to 4-on-3. The Canucks killed it off and stood 1-1 after 40 minutes.
Kadri made up for it in the third period. On the first of two consecutive power plays, and after Landeskog failed to score on what appeared to be an open net, Kadri chipped the loose puck past Demko at 2:19 — just 58 seconds after the Canucks went ahead 2-1 on a pinball bounce off a weak shot from the point.
Vancouver took another penalty on the ensuing shift and Makar cashed in at 3:12 for a 3-2 lead.
Footnotes. The Avs continued on without three key players — forwards Nathan MacKinnon (lower-body injury) and J.T. Compher (upper-body) and defenseman Bo Byram (head). But Byram, from Cranbrook, B.C., is here with the team and feeling better, Bednar said after Wednesday’s optional morning skate. The young defenseman didn’t play against Vancouver but his presence is good news as he hopes to recover from at least his third concussion in 2021, sustained last week against the Canucks. Byram, 20, was limited to just 19-of-56 games last season because of two concussions and he told The Athletic that he feared that he would never play again. “He’s feeling a little bit better (but) I’m not sure on his timeline,” Bednar said of Byram. Asked if Byram could resume skating soon, Bednar said: “We’re hoping that he can.” … Forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel made his debut with the Avs after begin claimed from Philadelphia on the waiver wire on Saturday. He took the Avs’ first penalty. … Defenseman Kurtis MacDermid was Colorado’s only healthy scratch.
Meet The 2021 Daily News Dream Team
Note: As of this writing, Freeland's season was still in progress, as the Falcons were preparing to face Chelsea in a Division 4 state semifinal on Saturday afternoon. All of Freeland's statistics are through their first 12 games of the season.
For most high school football players, playing in a state semifinal would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For the Freeland Falcons, however, once simply was not enough.
Freeland will make a return trip to the Final Four on Saturday in a 1 p.M. Division 4 semifinal against top-ranked Chelsea in Lapeer. And the Falcons will be led into action by senior quarterback Bryson Huckeby and senior linebacker/running back/kicker Jacob Kundinger -- the heart of FHS's offense and defense, respectively, and this year's Daily News Dream Team co-Players of the Year.
All that Huckeby has done since taking over as the Falcons' signal-caller midway through his freshman season is win -- and win a lot.
Always a two-way threat, Huckeby hurt opponents with both his arm and his legs again this season, completing 67 percent of his passes for over 1,500 yards and 15 touchdowns, while also rushing for nearly 600 yards and nine more TDs in earning First Team All-Tri-Valley Conference East and All-Region honors.
Along the way, he established new school records for career touchdown passes with 45 and for career wins by a quarterback with 32 victories against only seven losses.
"As long as No. 1 is under center, we have a chance to win every game. Bryson is a four-year starter and a coach on the field," said Freeland coach Kevin Townsend. "He runs the show and changes plays to put us in the best position possible every play. He has really raised his game every year he has been with us."
On the other side of the ball for the Falcons, Kundinger wreaked havoc in his third year as a starting linebacker, collecting 97 tackles, including 13 for loss, to go with an interception and a fumble recovery and earning First Team All-TVC East and All-Region accolades.

Impressively, Kundinger was almost as valuable to Freeland in a couple of other ways. As a running back, he rushed for over 400 yards and five TDs and caught 14 passes for nearly 200 yards and four TDs, while, as a kicker, he converted 16 of 17 extra-point attempts, averaged over 60 yards per kickoff, and had 10 touchbacks on kickoffs.
"Jacob is a I-can-do-everything type of player. As good as he is at running the ball, he is an amazing blocker as well, and he can catch the ball out of the backfield," noted Townsend. "He kicks off and kicks PATs and runs our defense. Most games he plays hurt, but you would never know."
Joining Huckeby on the Dream Team offense are Dow High senior lineman Daniel Kowalczyk, Midland High senior quarterback Drew Barrie, Bullock Creek senior receiver Parker Grzegorczyk, Creek senior quarterback Carter Campau, Coleman senior running back Conner Schrank, Coleman senior lineman Max Marovich, Bay City Western senior quarterback Logan O'Hare, BCW senior running back Joey Wiedyk, BCW senior lineman Josh Charbonneau, Gladwin junior quarterback Nick Wheeler, Gladwin junior lineman Lincoln McKinnon, Freeland senior receiver Alex Duley, Freeland senior running back Garrett Pistro, and Freeland junior lineman Gabe Blanchard.
A First Team All-Saginaw Valley League North honoree and team captain, Barrie completed 56 percent of his passes for nearly 1,400 yards and 14 TDs, while rushing for over 400 yards and seven TDs.
“Drew Barrie did a great job for our team this year. He is extremely intelligent and a great decision-maker," said Chemics' coach Eric Methner. "His ability to make plays outside the pocket under pressure was very special.”
Grzegorczyk had a big year for Creek, catching 41 passes for nearly 800 yards and six TDs, while also rushing for nearly 400 yards and three TDs to earn looks from multiple GLIAC schools. He was named First Team All-TVC West.
"Parker is one of those kids who will do whatever you ask him to do," said Lancers' coach Chris Holly. "He's the first to come and the last to leave at practice, he's always asking for extra (practice) time, and he lives in the weight room."
Campau, another First Team All-TVC West honoree, also filled up the stat sheet for Creek, passing for over 1,500 yards and 16 TDs, while rushing for nearly 600 yards and nine scores. He will go on to play baseball at Central Michigan University.
"Carter is the ultimate competitor. His drive to win is incredible, whether he's playing football or baseball," said Holly. "He's a super competitive kid."
In only eight games, Schrank rushed for over 1,300 yards and 17 TDs and averaged a tidy 9.9 yards per carry for Coleman. He also caught eight passes for 80 yards and three TDs and ran for four 2-point conversions to earn First Team All-Mid-State Activities Conference honors. He was also an excellent defender, making 70 tackles, including 10 for loss, with three forced fumbles and two interceptions.
"Conner has been a pure football player. From the day he first met the game to his last snap, he bought into everything," said Comets' coach Chad Klopf. "This year, he was a true workhorse. And he wasn't just a power back. He had patience and finesse, too. I've had people tell me they think he's the best running back we've had at Coleman in a long time."
Marovich, a center, also earned First Team All-MSAC honors after anchoring a Coleman offensive line which paved the way for over 1,800 rushing yards and 24 rushing TDs and an 8.4-yards-per-carry average in only eight games.
"We run 99 percent of our offense out of the shotgun and have played in some miserable weather, and he has only had a couple of snaps that he struggled with," said Klopf. "He was also the mainstay in pass blocking. On 155 attempts, we threw for 1,144 yards and 14 touchdowns. During that time, our QB had only been sacked in one game before taking a sack in week nine. Max was a big part of our 2,945 yards of total offense in eight games."
O'Hare didn't pass much for Western, but, then again, he rarely needed to. Instead, he scampered for a whopping 1,652 yards and 22 TDs and averaged 8.8 yards per carry in leading the Warriors to their best season in several years and earning First Team All-SVL North and All-Region accolades.
"The best thing about Logan is his competitiveness. He really, really, really, really wants to win in everything he does," said Warriors' coach Chris Willertz.
Wiedyk wasn't far behind his teammate, collecting over 1,500 rushing yards and 20 TDs and averaging over nine yards per carry to earn First Team All-SVL North and All-Region honors as well.
"Joey is the strong, silent type. He doesn't say much, but he just loves to run people over," Willertz said.
Charbonneau was the best lineman on a BCW O-line which opened the door for O'Hare, Wiedyk, and company to compile over 4,700 yards of offense, including nearly 4,300 on the ground, and was named First Team All-SVL North and All-Region.
"Josh really came of age this year as far as his confidence," Willertz said. "He became a more physical offensive lineman and started to believe in himself."
Despite sitting out much of the second half in numerous lopsided wins for Gladwin, Wheeler still piled up big numbers both through the air and on the ground. He completed nearly 70 percent of his passes for 1,260 yards and 12 TDs with only two interceptions and averaged almost 12 yards per completion, while rushing for nearly 900 yards and 11 TDs and averaging 9.6 yards per carry.
In the process, Wheeler led the Flying G's to a 9-0 regular season, their first Jack Pine Conference title in 20 years, and their first win over Clare in 40 years on the way to earning unanimous First Team All-JPC and All-Region honors.
"Nick is a game-changing player. He has great control of our offense and is a student of the game. He’s a great decision-maker in the passing game and a hard-nosed, elusive runner with great speed," said Gladwin coach Marc Jarstfer. "He worked hard all winter and summer to improve his strength and speed. You have to plan for him."
Anchoring the line which gave Wheeler time to do his thing was McKinnon, who was named First Team All-JPC and All-Region after helping pave the way for over 4,000 yards of offense and an incredible 63 TDs.
"Lincoln is a technician. Everything he does is very fundamentally sound," said Jarstfer. "He’s a mauler in the run game and a very solid pass protector. He lives in the weight room in the offseason. He’s a big part of our offensive success and is a team captain."
Duley earned First Team All-TVC East and All-Region accolades after hauling in 37 passes for 648 yards and nine TDs and providing key blocks for the Falcons' backs, while playing solid defense as well.
"Alex has huge hands and is a force on both sides of the ball. He has the ability to climb the ladder and come down with most 50/50 balls," said Townsend. "He makes it hard for teams to throw over the top of us because of his speed and length (on defense)."
Pistro was Freeland's top running back, rushing for over 1,000 yards and 19 TDs, including five TDs in the Falcons' regional championship victory over Croswell-Lexington. He, too, was named First Team All-TVC East and All-Region.
"Garrett is a tank. He is a powerful downhill runner. He is another player that has played hurt for the second half of the season, but you would never know it," said Townsend. "He saved his best game of his high school career for the regional championship, where he had 19 carries for 189 yards and five touchdowns. Garrett is also a great blocker and helped protect Bryson (Huckeby) on most passing plays."
Blanchard was the top lineman on a Freeland O-line which helped to rack up over 4,600 total yards, including over 3,000 on the ground. He had a 92-percent blocking rate and 17 pancake blocks, while earning First Team All-TVC East and All-Region honors.
"Gabe started as an outside linebacker as a freshman on the varsity (before becoming an O-lineman)," Townsend noted. "Gabe is the player that all coaches dream to have; he is a team player. Gabe is an edge-setter for our defense and a coach on the field as well. The best thing about Gabe is that he is only a junior, and we get him back again."
Joining Kundinger on the Dream Team defense are Dow senior linebacker Dawson Studebaker, Dow senior lineman Aidan Wardell, Midland junior lineman Colin Coffey, Midland senior lineman Nick Kruger, Bullock Creek junior lineman Nathan Rivard, Creek senior lineman Boyd Chambers, Coleman senior linebacker Konner Carbeno, Coleman senior linebacker Ayden Ruhle, Bay City Western senior linebacker Connor Chope, BCW senior linebacker Dylan Reynolds, Gladwin junior linebacker Logan Kokotovich, Gladwin junior defensive back Kaden McDonald, Beaverton senior linebacker Mitch Hall, and Freeland senior linebacker CJ Schultz.
One of the more dominant defensive players in the area in recent years, Studebaker led Dow with 77 1/2 tackles, including 51 solo stops, three forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries, while earning First Team All-SVL North and All-Region honors.
"Dawson was our team leader on defense," said Chargers' coach Matt Peterson. "He's a fierce competitor and a really good football player."
Complementing Studebaker on Dow's defense was Wardell, who spent a lot of time in opponents' backfields and finished with 36 1/2 tackles, including 29 solo stops and 13 1/2 tackles for loss, while forcing a pair of fumbles. He was also named First Team All-SVL North and All-Region.
"Aidan really came into his own this year," said Peterson. "He's a really good athlete who really sealed the edge for us, and he's really hard to block."
A two-way starter, Coffey was named First Team All-SVL, All-Region, and team MVP after collecting 49 tackles, including seven for loss, and earning the team's "Hardest Hitter" award.
"Colin Coffey was a dominant player on defense. He has a great motor, and he always brought it defensively," said Methner. "He's a special player and one of the hardest workers on the team."
Kruger tallied 36 tackles, including 9 1/2 tackles for loss and 3 1/2 sacks, and earned the Chemics' coveted Oscar Hahn Outstanding Grubb award.
"Nick Kruger was electric on our defensive line. He was in our opponents' backfield on a regular basis," said Methner. "He was an exciting player to watch."
Another two-way starting lineman, Rivard is drawing interest from multiple Mid-American Conference schools after notching 85 tackles, including an impressive 17 for loss and seven sacks, in earning First Team All-TVC West accolades.
"Pretty much everyone says that Nate is the best player in the league. All of the coaches say so," Holly said. "His strength and athletic ability (are special). For a kid that big to move like he does is insane. He's starting to draw interest from some Big Ten schools now. Penn State and Wisconsin have been in contact with him, so we'll see how that turns out."
Joining Rivard on Creek's line, Chambers was just as dominant, racking up 84 tackles, including 15 for loss and eight sacks, to earn First Team All-TVC West honors. He will play collegiately at Northern Michigan.
"Boyd doesn't finish last in any drill. He's always first, whether it's a defensive drill or a running drill," said Holly. "His work ethic is incredible."
In addition to being a productive ballcarrier on offense, Carbeno was one of Coleman's top defenders, finishing with 72 tackles, including 48 solo stops and eight tackles for loss, to go with a pair of interceptions to earn First Team All-MSAC honors.
"Konner has just been steady for four years," said Klopf. "He's been up (on varsity) since he was a freshman, and he's been a leader. I could never complain about what he brings (to the team)."
Right alongside Carbeno was Ruhle, who tallied 80 tackles, including 51 solo tackles, and six quarterback hurries, while also catching 27 passes for nearly 400 yards and six TDs on offense. He, too, was named First Team All-MSAC.
"Ayden kind of came out of nowhere. I tried talking him into playing football for years, and last year he really started to take off and buy in," said Klopf. "And this year he was 100-percent bought in, and there was no stopping him."
Chope was named First Team All-SVL North and All-Region after finishing with 77 tackles, including an amazing 22 tackles for loss, 11 sacks, 18 QB pressures, seven pass breakups, and a pair of interceptions.
"Conner is a gamer, always making plays. He's a dude who you know is going to make a play for you somehow, some way," said Willertz, adding with a chuckle, "He's got that mindset where you're not always sure what's going on in his head, but the dude makes plays. He's an awesome kid to coach."
Joining Chope in Western's linebacking corps, Reynolds finished with 86 tackles, including 12 for loss, seven sacks, and 11 QB pressures to earn Second Team All-SVL North honors.
"Dylan qualified for state in wrestling last year, but couldn't compete because of COVID. The best thing about Dylan is that he loves to work and also has a bit of a chip on his shoulder," Willertz said. "He wants to prove to everyone that he's a good football player, which you have to love."
Also an outstanding running back, Kokotovich paced Gladwin's defense with 84 tackles, including six for loss, and two fumble recoveries and was a unanimous First Team All-JPC and All-Region selection. Offensively, he rushed for nearly 900 yards and a school-record 22 TDs.
"Logan is the leader of our defense and one of the best players I’ve ever coached. He’s an intense middle linebacker that can play from sideline to sideline," said Jarstfer. "He’s as tough as they come and makes plays all over the field."
McDonald was another defensive leader for the G's, collecting 73 tackles with six interceptions and a pair of fumble recoveries. He also was named unanimous First Team All-JPC and All-Region.
"Kaden is a great centerfielding safety with great ball skills, but he is even more impressive in his willingness to contribute to defending the run game," said Jarstfer. "We will roll him down into the box as an extra run defender, and he’s been an impact player for us in that role."
A team captain and also one of Beaverton's top offensive players, Hall notched 54 tackles, including six for loss, and had an interception in earning First Team All-JPC and All-Region accolades.
"Mitch changed positions for us defensively. He went from playing inside linebacker in 2020 to playing outside linebacker due to our team’s circumstances. Mitch makes quick reads and gets to the football," said Beavers' coach Aaron Seiser. "He is also much faster on the field than his agility and speed scores indicate. He truly can make plays from sideline to sideline."
Schultz had a big year for Freeland's defense, compiling 86 tackles, including 11 for loss, with an interception and was named an All-Region honorable mention.
"CJ is a great linebacker. He has gotten better as the season has gone along. CJ told me when we left Grand Rapids last year in the semifinals that he wouldn't miss a day of workouts," Townsend said. "Not only did CJ make all the workouts our program offered, but he added some of his own at 5 a.M. At the Freeland SportsZone. By adding that muscle, CJ has been able to play injury-free this whole season, which is tough to do at middle linebacker."
Rounding out the Dream Team as at-large players are Dow seniors Carter Kohtz and Caden Chritz, both of whom used their speed at receiver on offense, in the secondary on defense, and on special teams to contribute all over the field.
Kohtz rushed for nearly 400 yards and two TDs and averaged 6.3 yards per carry, while catching 30 passes for nearly 300 yards and two TDs and averaging almost 10 yards per reception on offense. Defensively, he collected 34 1/2 tackles, including 26 solo stops, with five interceptions and five pass breakups. He was named First Team All-SVL North and All-Region.
"Carter is a really good athlete, and he's dynamic with the ball in his hands," said Peterson. "He's really good at tracking the ball in the air."
Offensively, Chritz ran for over 200 yards and two TDs and averaged 5.0 yards per carry, while catching 21 passes for over 300 yards and five TDs and averaging nearly 15 yards per reception. In the defensive backfield, he notched 27 1/2 tackles, including 23 solo tackles, with two interceptions and three pass breakups. He earned First Team All-SVL North honors.
"Caden is a really smart kid who did a lot for us on both sides of the ball," said Peterson. "He had his best season for us this year."
