The Colorado Avalanche matched up with the Chicago Blackhawks for the second time in less than a week. Once again, they found themselves on top in a dramatic 6-4 win on Friday night.
The Avs seemed to be in cruise control for most of the game until the third period, where the Blackhawks exploded for four goals. It would take two empty net goals from Nazem Kadri and Cale Makar to kill off the game in the final minutes.
1st Period
The first period was a goaltending duel. Pavel Francouz, who had shutout opponents in the last two games, looked to keep that stat going and kept up to it in the period.
