Another game for the Colorado Avalanche which just got away in the end.
After breaking out to a 2-0 lead, the Avs would fall behind and eventually lose to the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 on home ice. They had their chances, but could not beat Ilya Samsonov in the crease with their chances.
The loss coming down to the wire certainly hurts Colorado. As of the publishing of this article, they now are third in the Central Division with 75 points and have the least remaining games of the top three in the division.
