Last game, the Avalanche pulled out a dirty win against the Carolina Hurricanes on the wings of Semyon Varlamov, skating away with a 5-3 victory despite getting outshot 60-27.
Tonight, they held their opponent to slightly fewer shots - but once again, managed to pull off a win on the back of their goaltender, earning a 5-4 shootout victory despite falling 37-27 in shots during active play.
THE RUNDOWN
Ironically enough, Colorado would open up scoring with a goal by none other than Matt Duchene - whom many believed to be on his way out the door last night due to some miscommunication regarding a dead trade from Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
