This had the feel of a regular season game. Right down to Nathan MacKinnon ready to throw down to protect one of his own guys.

The Avalanche played all their big name roster players, save for the injured, and we got a peek into what we know and love with Colorado Avalanche hockey. Fast and furious.

Nathan MacKinnon looked like he did take a single day off in the offseason and watching zoom around Dallas has to get you excited for what is to come a week from now against Chicago.

Now it's decision time for Jared Bednar. There's only a spot or two available and several guys looking to snatch those spots up. We lay down our stone-cold prediction on who will be the ones remaining with the club to start the season and those who just miss out.
