For the second time in as many nights, the Colorado Avalanche played well but didn’t do enough to secure the victory.
The Edmonton Oilers came away with a 4-1 victory Saturday night at Ball Arena, handing Colorado its second straight loss.
On a night when Justus Annunen was shipped off to the Nashville Predators earlier in the day, Avalanche netminder Alexandar Georgiev was okay, but the man at the other end of the ice, Stuart Skinner, was outstanding, turning away 28 of 29 shot attempts. Georgiev stopped 28 of 31.
First Period
Colorado opened up scoring for a change, but it was their only score of the night.
