The Colorado Avalanche started slow, gave up the lead, and couldn’t pull a rabbit out of the bag late for a second time as the Arizona Coyotes won Game 3 by a score of 4-2. The First Round series is still 2-1 in Colorado’s favor, but there’s only one game in it now.
Andre Burakovsky and Mikko Rantanen scored the two goals for the Avalanche, while Pavel Francouz stopped 19 of 21 in the loss. The two empty net goals late in the game were the difference. Darcy Kuemper stopped 49 of 51 in the win, but unfortunately the volume didn’t match the quality of chances against.
