Colorado Avalanche forward Parker Kelly described himself as “the puck guy” before Colorado’s matchup against the Calgary Flames. Then, he became a superhero. Kelly went out and won the game for the Avs on Friday, back in the wing after spending most of the season adjusting to center. He scored twice in the Avalanche’s 4-2 victory over the Flames.
