It's the same song Avalanche fans have heard for years now. Who will be the one to step up for all the injuries. The answer is different on a game by game basis, but for the first 12 games of the season so far, you could say Nazem Kadri is this teams MVP. While players like Bo Byram and Logan O'Connor do things on the ice that make your eyes pop out, Naz has been going about his business a little quieter than those guys and it has lead to him leading the team in points thus far.

Sammy Girard is another guy who has been unnecessarily been tagged as the fan punching bag. But his play as of late has shown why the Avs signed him to a seven year deal.
