The Colorado Avalanche invested a lot in Francois Beauchemin this offseason, hoping his veteran presence would be a major factor in improving the Avs’ blue line, but through two games, it’s been his offensive impact that’s really stood out.
Not only does Beauchemin lead all defenseman with five assists, he leads the entire league.
At 35, Beauchemin is inching towards the end of his career, but the rugged defenseman still has plenty left in the tank, and the Avalanche are going to need everything he has if they’re to make it back into the playoffs.
