Tuesday night was one of those tough losses for the Colorado Avalanche which could end up making a difference down the line. After coming back from a 3-1 deficit to the New Jersey Devils, a late winner in the final two minutes plus an empty netter was enough to steal a 5-3 win on home ice.
The Avs started well, but had a slump in the middle of the game, along with an uproar and collapse in the third period. While it looked as though they were going to at least get one point out of this game, it turned out to be not.
