It was an incredibly busy month of January for the Colorado Eagles which saw the squad play 15 (!) games as they endured numerous recalls to the Colorado Avalanche on both offense and defense during that span. There was a little bit of adversity to overcome and movement in the standings this month through experiencing a record of 8-4-3. However, the Eagles finished with a three-game win streak to conclude a long road trip and currently sit tied on top of the Pacific Division with a 28-10-4 record, good for 60 standings points.<\/p>\n
First Star – D Jack Ahcan – 32 GP: 5G, 23A, 28P<\/p>\n
Despite spending several days up with the Avalanche, Jack Ahcan has been a consistent force with the Eagles scoring ten points in 12 games during January including a five-game point streak. With 28 points on the season and 11 on the power play as the quarterback, Ahcan is fourth in AHL scoring from the blue line.<\/p>\n
Second Star – C Nikita Prishchepov – 18 GP: 2G, 9A, 11P<\/p>\n
He started the month off hot with a goal on New Year\u2019s Day and at one point scored six points in a three-game span but unfortunately did not receive a recall to the Avalanche while his play was on fire with seven points in eight games. Nikita Prishchepov is now out of the lineup due to injury as well, having last played on January 17th. The Eagles have not provided an update on his prognosis for return.<\/p>\n
Third Star – F Maro\u0161 Jedli\u010dka – 23 GP: 2G, 5A, 7P<\/p>\n
We are going off the board for the final star as there certainly have been more productive Colorado Eagles players overall but Maro\u0161 Jedli\u010dka made the most of the three games he was able to dress for and therefore should be highlighted. In those three games he scored a two goals in one game and then assisted in the Eagles\u2019 most recent game after he sat for weeks as a healthy scratch. Hopefully, Jedli\u010dka can see a little more opportunity moving forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was an incredibly busy month of January for the Colorado Eagles which saw the squad play 15…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":449002,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5116],"tags":[193,192,144,32834,5277,5,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-449001","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-colorado-avalanche","8":"tag-avalanche","9":"tag-colorado","10":"tag-colorado-avalanche","11":"tag-colorado-eagles-coverage","12":"tag-coloradoavalanche","13":"tag-hockey","14":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116024267450345348","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=449001"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449001\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/449002"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=449001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=449001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=449001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
