3 things Avalanche fans need to watch out for in November

Mile High Sticking outlines three crucial storylines for the Colorado Avalanche to navigate in November to maintain their momentum. After an uneven start, Colorado enters the month coming off consecutive wins, including a 5-2 victory over the Calgary Flames. However, the author notes that an upcoming busy schedule featuring road back-to-backs will heavily test the team's consistency and energy management.

Key concerns include managing the absence of defenseman Josh Manson, who is expected to miss about eight weeks with an ankle injury, increasing responsibility for depth options like Noah Juulsen and Brett Kulak. Additionally, the writer highlights two upcoming games against the Montreal Canadiens as an important measuring stick before the key Thanksgiving playoff benchmark.
