The Colorado Avalanche lost 6-2 to the Edmonton Oilers last night. Four power play goals on six attempts did it for the Avs, who had an otherwise good game. More in the recap. [Mile High Hockey]
The Avalanche gifted the Oilers six power play opportunities in the game, and the Oilers converted on four of them, including all three of McDavid’s goals. This was the difference in the game because at 5v5, the Avalanche dominated, out-shooting the Oilers 49-31 in shot attempts (61%), 26-14 in scoring chances (65%), and 58% in expected goals.
