Listen to “Kuemper Down” on Spreaker.

The Avalanche defeated the Minnesota Wild in an epic matchup but the story of the day is Darcy Kuemper’s injury. Aarif and J.J. break down the 4-3 shootout victory and the collision that led to Kuemper being pulled by the concussion spotter. They also chat about the team’s success and ability to win in different ways. The guys then share their thoughts on Pavel Francouz’s streak since the new year, his expertise in the shootout and what more he could offer. The show continues with a breakdown of Colorado’s depth and a look-ahead to the two-game road trip coming up in California. All that and more on this edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.

Produced by Patrick Stedman.
