No team in the NHL is going to win much when five of the top nine or 10 players on the roster are unavailable. For the Colorado Avalanche, that’s just the state of things right now. But the issues for the Avs during an 0-3 start, particularly in an ugly 6-2 loss Monday night to the New York Islanders, go beyond just missing some very good players. It’s a pretty simple message: Focus on the process and clean up the areas that the healthy players can control. “I think we recognize what we have to improve on,” Avs forward Logan O’Connor said.
