Ross Colton thriving as playoffs approach for Avalanche

Ross Colton of the Colorado Avalanche has turned his season around as the playoffs approach. A month ago, he was struggling, with a long scoring drought that frustrated him and the team. The Avalanche were not performing well and he felt out of sync. Since then, Colton has found his groove. The team has gone on a successful run, winning 10 out of 12 games. Colton has contributed significantly, scoring 12 points during this stretch. His offensive performance has improved after a rough period where he went 14 games without a point. This decline came after he started the season strong, scoring eight goals in the first ten games before suffering a broken foot. Recently, a new line combination has helped Colton. He is now playing with Charlie Coyle and Joel Kiviranta. The trio has quickly developed strong chemistry and is among the top players in creating scoring chances on the team. They play a physical style and are effective at getting to the net. Colton's recent play reflects the ups and downs of the Avalanche's season. As the team prepares for the playoffs, Colton is focused on maintaining his performance. He feels comfortable with his new line and is enjoying their success, even when not scoring. His overall game has improved, making him a key player for the Avalanche.
