The Colorado Avalanche have now dropped two games in a row in which they were leading in the third period.
In the game against the Carolina Hurricanes, they were leading 1-0 with three minutes to go. They let Carolina score three unanswered goals (the last an empty-netter) to win the game.
Against the Blackhawks, they were leading 3-1 halfway through the third period before allowing Chicago to score four unanswered goals (the last an empty-netter) to win the game.
Alternate captain Erik Johnson, just back in his second game after missing seven with an upper body injury, talked about both games in his post-practice presser.
