Seattle’s Oliver Bjorkstand scored with 32 seconds left Thursday night to stun the Avalanche in a 4-3 victory at Ball Arena.
It was Bjorkstand’s second goal of the game, and it led to Colorado’s first home loss of the season. It’s also the first time the Avs (8-4-0) have lost a game this season while scoring at least one goal. Beyond the team’s fourth loss in six games, the Avs also lost forward Artturi Lehkonen to injury after he took a hit along the boards.
Multiple players and coach Jared Bednar were happy with the team’s overall effort despite the loss, but the focus of their concern postgame was with Lehkonen.
