Colorado Avalanche Call-Up: Ben Street

Second surprise of the day: Ben Street is on this list. At 28, time is running away for him. At 5-foot-11, he also isn’t much bigger than Agozzino. However, despite being rather small, Street possesses a decent two-way game.

In the 2015-16 NHL preseason, Street didn’t record a point, but he ripped off shots like no one else did. In his first AHL game of the season, he had 11 shots, scored a goal and recorded two assists. He, too, is one of the Rampage’s alternate captains. Street may not be the biggest forward, but he’s definitely one of the hardest-working ones.

If he got a chance on the Colorado Avalanche, he could look good on a line with Carl Soderberg and Blake Comeau. Or basically with anyone else on a newly formatted third line, e.g. John Mitchell and/or Mikhail Grigorenko. I’ll leave that to Roy once the time has come.
