The Colorado Avalanche dropped their sixth straight game in a 5-4 loss to the San Jose Sharks at home on national television. The Avalanche — who had a great first, embarassing second, and fruitless third against the Sharks on Wednesday night — now fall even with the Dallas Stars for third in the Central Division with 46 points in 41 games. Unfortunately, the Stars carry two extra ROW (regulation/overtime wins), so they leap over the Avs.
Things weren’t all bad. A silver lining in this game was found in the form of a Tyson Barrie milestone goal in the third period of the almost-comeback.
