COLUMBUS, Ohio – When Tyson Barrie and Carl Soderberg scored 12 seconds apart in the opening minutes of Thursday’s game, the Avalanche appeared headed toward a pivotal win.
By the second intermission, though, their lightning-quick two-goal lead had dissolved and they were staring at a two-goal deficit to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Avalanche recovered and forced overtime with third-period goals from Gabe Landeskog and Carl Soderberg, whose second goal of the night knotted the score with 3:18 left in regulation, but ultimately fell 5-4 at Nationwide Arena on Seth Jones’ goal 59 seconds into the extra session.
