Avalanche Roasted for Coughing Up 2 Leads in Game 5 Loss vs. Blues

Nathan MacKinnon had himself an incredible Wednesday night. His teammates, well...not so much.

The Colorado Avalanche blew two separate leads, wasted MacKinnon's hat trick and threw away a chance to end their second-round series against the St. Louis Blues, losing Game 5 in overtime, 5-4.

Tyler Bozak was the man of the hour for the Blues, scoring the game-winning goal in the extra period.
