COLE BASSETT NEWS

Takes three shots on Saturday Bassett had three shots (one on target) during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Nashville.

Impact Bassett was Colorado's lone threat up front as teammates didn't generated danger as expected. The attacker paced his team in shots attempted but, like in the season opener, lacked accuracy in front of the net. Coming off the best scoring campaign of his career despite being slowed down by an injury, Bassett will try to replicate such success this year and his strong play despite the lack of collaboration up front could be seen as a great sign.
