Sometimes, it just doesn’t go your way.
Such was the case for the Colorado Avalanche who fell 2-1 in overtime against the New York Rangers. The Avs just couldn’t find the net behind a great Johnathan Quick, and missed their chances - particularly on the powerplay early in the game.
It ended up being a goaltending battle where the Avs and Alexandar Georgiev weren’t able to stop them all. Georgiev couldn’t do much on either of the Rangers’ goals as he was screened. While Colorado does get a point out of the game, it’s not the best way to start a season-long road trip especially with a quick turnaround.
