Aarif Deen is back following the Avs' 6-2 victory over the Capitals, led by Nathan MacKinnon's second four-goal game of the season. He reacts to Jared Bednar's post-game presser where he spoke about MacKinnon's off-ice habits that make him the elite player that he is. He also speaks to MacKinnon's standard for himself and those around him. Then, he touches on the return of both Artturi Lehkonen and Bowen Byram before closing out with thoughts of how Alexandar Georgiev looked on Wednesday. All that and more on this edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.
