For the third time in 16 days, the Colorado Avalanche squandered a multi-goal lead in the third period.
The first two still ended with two points. This one did not.
The Calgary Flames scored twice midway through the third period, and then Yegor Sharangovich had the lone tally in the shootout Monday night to defeat the Avalanche, 3-2, at Ball Arena. It is Colorado’s second straight loss after a 12-1-1 stretch.
The Avs were cruising to another home win before the pair of goals from Calgary’s fourth line. Scott Wedgewood’s shutout bid ended with 9:03 remaining in the third period.
