The Colorado Avalanche got off to a decent enough start but came up fruitless in their second shutout in less than a week and the third on the season falling 4-0 to the Chicago Blackhawks. After failing to convert on two straight power plays, Colorado then saw Chicago go down and score on their next two shots roughly 40 seconds apart. Johnathan Toews out worked Patrick Wiercoich and punched in a juicy rebound right in front of the goal crease at 14:25 and then Marian Hossa beat Fedor Tyutin one on one to put a nice wrist shot past Varlamov at 15:03.
