VANCOUVER — During two games in less than a week against the Vancouver Canucks, the Avalanche used a 62.5% power play to sweep the set. Colorado was 3-for-5 on the man-advantage in Wednesday’s 4-2 victory at Rogers Place after going 2-for-3 in last Thursday’s 7-1 triumph at Ball Arena.
Five takeaways from Wednesday’s win to begin a two-game road trip:
Kuemper. Goalie Darcy Kuemper was unquestionably one of the Avs’ best players and seems to be settling in with his new club. If it weren’t for a handful of great goaltending moments late in the first period and most of the second, Vancouver might have had five goals.
