WHERE/WHEN
December 31, 2015 Game 38
Pepsi Center Denver, Colorado
HIGHLIGHTS
After scoring four power play goals in San Jose on Tuesday night the Avalanche’s red hot power play struck once more to kick off the team’s New Year’s Eve celebration. In now familiar fashion, the Avalanche scored the first goal of the game just 4:04 into the first period when Carl Soderberg deflected his 7th goal of the season into the back of the net off an Alex Tanguay pass. The Avalanche were the better team for most of the period, creating a number of high danger chances to increase their lead, but Scott Darling was strong in net for the Blackhawks and kept his team in the game early.
