Lindgren put Colorado up 1-0 at 13:21 of the first period with a seeing-eye wrist shot from the top of the point through traffic that beat a screened Wolf to the blocker. The goal was Lindgren's first with the Avalanche after he was acquired from the New York Rangers on March 1 and first in 29 games overall.

Next up is a matchup on home ice against the Dallas Stars. The Stars are three points up on the Avalanche, with two games in hand. A win would be massive, as the Avalanche hope to take over the second spot in the division in what will undoubtedly be a first-round war between the two teams.

Although it’s almost unheard of for a 100-point scorer to be traded twice in the same season, that’s precisely the situation Dallas Stars winger Mikko Rantanen experienced this year.

"I told them I'll be flexible and I want to play here for a long time. Then a couple days later they traded me," Rantanen said Saturday.
