The Avalanche played a strong defensive game, but two breakdowns cost them the game, and they lost 2-1 to the last place Columbus Blue Jackets.
How did each player perform? Let’s find out…
Tyson Barrie (C+) – Barrie had a good game defensively, but in a tight game like this, the Avs need him to be a game breaker offensively, and he wasn’t tonight.
Francois Beauchemin (B) – The veteran had a really strong game, outside of a penalty early in the third period. He’s been a nice outlet for the young Zadorov, and looks much better with a partner that can move the puck.
