The Colorado Avalanche fell to the Anaheim Ducks. That wasn’t one of the surprises for me, to be honest. They’re on the second game of a back-to-back after a six-game road trip. And they had the dominant game after losing a star to show they can still win without him. And it was time for them to regress.
Plus, as Jared Bednar pointed out, they’re developing a tendency to follow a dominant game with a flat one. They beat Tampa by 6-2 then fell flat in St. Louis, losing 3-1. They then beat Vegas 6-1 only to drop tonight’s game.
