For the second time in as many nights, the shorthanded Colorado Avalanche played pretty well — maybe even well enough to win — against one of the NHL’s best teams.
Neither contest resulted in a victory for the Avs.
The superstars on both teams were mostly held in check, though Connor McDavid did create one of Edmonton’s goals Saturday night in a 4-1 victory for the Oilers at Ball Arena. Colorado has now lost three of four ahead of a five-game road trip to the East Coast.
Avalanche goaltender Alexandar Georgiev was not bad, but for the second straight night against a Stanley Cup contender, the guy at the other end of the ice was better.
