It’s not often that a team can allow two power-play goals, and the penalty kill deserves a huge amount of a credit in a winning effort, but Tuesday was an atypical night at Ball Arena for the Colorado Avalanche.
Ryan Johansen and Nathan MacKinnon scored less than two minutes apart in the third period to help the Avs defeat the New Jersey Devils, 6-3, but a wild chain of events in the middle 20 minutes provided the biggest talking points from this contest.
Colorado took five penalties in the period, and spent seven minutes shorthanded, including a five-minute major.
