The Colorado Avalanche started hot, but unlike next month’s predicted record-high temperatures, they hit a massive cold front.
Colorado was defeated by Utah Hockey Club 6-3 in Sunday’s preseason matchup at Ball Arena. Miles Wood, Sam Malinski, and Calum Ritchie scored for Colorado, and Justus Annunen made 32 saves on the night.
The Avalanche kicked off the scoring at 13:12 of the first period when Samuel Girard found Ivan Ivan below the goal line before the latter handed a pass to Wood for a five-on-three power-play goal.
