A great way to erase the memory of an embarrassing 8-2 loss at home is to turn it around the very next outing at Ball Arena and do the same to another team and the Colorado Avalanche did just that to the visiting Anaheim Ducks.
The Game
It wasn’t the homecoming Ducks head coach Greg Cronin had in mind as this contest served as a “get right game” for many Avalanche players as they started strong and put the first 11 shots on the board.
It didn’t take long for Sam Girard to break through for his first goal of the season as he won a net front battle and batted the puck home at 6:40.
