The Avalanche\u2019s 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Monday was their eighth straight win. They also extended their home winning streak to 14 games and have more wins at Ball Arena (16) than nine other teams have overall.<\/p>\n

But most of their damage, per usual, continues to come at 5-on-5. They\u2019re breaking records at even strength, which, obviously, is how most games are played.<\/p>\n

But something has to give with the Avalanche\u2019s struggling power play. Against the Kings, special teams almost sank them. Their play at 5-on-5 was the lifeline they needed to keep their streaks going, as it has\u00a0all season.<\/p>\n

Jared Bednar admitted he\u2019s concerned. He\u2019s frustrated.<\/p>\n

After all, the talent this team has should lead to a power play that rivals that of the Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars.<\/p>\n

Instead, those teams are ranked first and second, respectively, while Colorado is further down the list in 26th. It\u2019s borderline embarrassing.<\/p>\n

On what Bednar said, how the Avs can fix the power play, and more from their performance on Monday.<\/p>\n
