WHERE/WHEN
February 4, 2016 Game 54
Pepsi Center Denver, CO
Two nights after a fourth consecutive underwhelming performance, the Colorado Avalanche came into tonight’s game against the visiting Dallas Stars looking for an effort they can be proud of. Early on, anyway, it looked like starting goaltender Calvin Pickard could be in for another long night as the Stars scored 1:31 into the game courtesy of Jason Spezza, who beat Nick Holden on the play for the 1-0 Stars lead.
The Avalanche wouldn’t wait long to respond as Carl Soderberg make his usual perfect pass to Blake Comeau, who flat out beat Antti Niemi high on the glove side at 2:45 of the first period to bring it to 1-1.
