The Colorado Avalanche traveled to the Great White North for a set of back-to-back games following their four-day long mini break. The Avalanche were looking for revenge against the Calgary Flames for their 3-2 overtime defeat in Denver a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, Colorado’s misfortune against Calgary continued in a horrific 4-1 collapse following a questionable call in the second period, and ultimately fell 6-5 in a shocking defeat. Colorado gave up five straight goals to start the third period and simply couldn’t recover, even after making it a one-goal game late.
Vladislav Kamenev and Sheldon Dries each scored their first career NHL goals in this game, but no one’s going to remember that now.
