Cale Makar is 3-3 in playoff elimination games in his career. Nathan MacKinnon is 4-5, including two Game 7 overtime losses.The Avs never once had their backs to the wall during the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Now their generational core faces an uphill climb. Trailing 3-2 to the Kraken, the Avalanche play Game 6 on Friday (7 p.m. MT, TNT) back at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena. Here are three keys to forcing a Game 7.1. Drown it out, Cale. Makar will be greeted with enthusiastic loathing in his return from a one-game suspension.

Are there enough free preschool seats for Colorado 4-year-olds? It depends.

Since Colorado leaders began planning a major expansion of state-funded preschool more than two years ago, parents and advocates have wondered: Will there be enough seats for everybody who wants one?The answer: It depends.On paper, there are plenty of seats. State officials expect only about half of Colorado’s 4-year-olds — around 31,000 children — to participate in the first year. Meanwhile, a Chalkbeat analysis found more than 56,000 preschool seats available for next fall.“Right now, it’s looking really good,” said Dawn Odean, the state’s universal preschool director.But things get stickier at the county level. Some parts of the state are awash in preschool seats and others don’t have nearly enough. Some families may also struggle to find preschools with the schedules and programming they want.“The physical number of slots versus what parents actually need doesn’t necessarily align,” said Kelly Esch, who’s both the parent of a preschooler and executive director of an organi...
