As much resilience as the Avalanche’s first third of the season demanded, there remained one mountain they had not climbed entering the final game before Christmas.
They found a way to climb it for the signature win of the season so far.
The Avs earned a point after trailing by multiple goals for the first time this year. Sam Girard scored his second goal of the season to beat his former team in overtime, and Colorado escaped Nashville with a thrilling 3-2 triumph Friday.
