Avalanche's Francois Beauchemin: Puts up solid line in victory

Beauchemin registered a goal, an assist and a plus-3 rating during Wednesday's 4-2 preseason win over the Stars.

Analysis:

Beauchemin is still chugging along at the age of 36 and remains a key cog for the Avalanche. With the expectation of an improved offense, the blueliner may come across a few more opportunities in 2016-17. The 1998 third-round pick amassed a respectable eight goals and 26 helpers last year in his first campaign with the team.
