After losing a disappointing Game 3 at home by a score of 4-2, the Colorado Avalanche looked to even the series against the San Jose Sharks at two games apiece before travelling to Game 5 at the Shark Tank on Saturday. Defensive miscues were a huge contributor to the Avs’ loss on Tuesday, that part of team’s play needed to remain solid and disciplined tonight to have a chance to tie the series.
Offensively, the Avs’ top players needed to be on their game. Nathan MacKinnon’s speed was key as he looked to extend his seven-game point streak tonight.
