Tour De Canada ended with Montreal madness, but the Colorado Avalanche overcame a rough third period to escape Bell Centre with a 5-4 victory Saturday night.
The Avalanche entered the third period with a commanding 4-1 advantage until the Canadiens nailed Colorado with a three-spot to even things up before the end of regulation. After a scoreless overtime period, Brock Nelson scored the shootout-winning goal to give his team the victory. He also scored earlier in the game while Sam Malinski, Martin Neu010das, and Ryan Lindgren each lit the lamp for the Avs. Mackenzie Blackwood also recorded the 100th win of his NHL career.
