It was a final home game test before the Colorado Avalanche headed out on the road for a long five-game trip. Incoming was the Vegas Golden Knights who embarrassed the Avalanche in the desert just two months ago. But payback was deserved as the Avalanche returned the favor and shutout the Golden Knights 3-0.
The Game
It was a sleepy start to the game with the teams alternating two power plays apiece. But with 14 seconds left in the first period finally it was Big Val Nichushkin who got the Avalanche on the board for his 21st goal of the season.
