Our own Jackie Kay said it on this week’s Mile High Hockey Lab podcast episode, and it was reflected in this one once again. The Avs went 4-of-5 on the man advantage and killed off 5-of-6 penalties for Ottawa, including three straight in quick succession in the second half of the third period.Īs mentioned at the beginning of this piece, these two teams just seem to have wacky games whenever they’ve played each other the last few years. But, they have their stars to thank along with their special teams.

They did the same in the second half of the first period as well. They continue to lapse into bad habits in the middle frame and put themselves into holes on a nightly basis. However, he was called into action plenty in yet another lackluster second period for Colorado. He had more help in front of him than usual with the return of Makar from injury but did a lot to keep his team in it all game long. He stood tall in the third period when Ottawa had all the chances in the world, and in the end, stopped 41 of 45 shots.

While he will certainly want the fourth goal by Batherson back, he rebounded well and gave the Avs a chance when they were down two goals. While MacKinnon and Rantanen were the stars of the show, a special star and shoutout should be given to the Avs netminder.
