Colorado’s preseason streak stays intact with a 4-2 win over Vegas as Colton and Drury connect twice, while Polin’s tying goal signals a rising depth play. With an AHL-heavy lineup, the AVs showcase young forwards and tackle defensive pairing questions, especially on the left. The rematch in Vegas looms as a true gauge for lineup decisions and PP potential, making this a helpful glance for early-season fantasy depth and roster battles.

Fantasy takeaways center on Polin, Colton, and Drury as likely early contributors, while Malinski’s imperfect left-side play could open ice for Brindley or Bardakov if they continue the forecheck and keep possession. No power-play magic yet keeps expectations tempered, but roster shakeups could spark PP rotation changes as the season begins.
