As the Colorado Avalanche homestand continues they finally host a top playoff team in the New York Rangers. This game unfolded very similar to the match in New York as a competitive low scoring affair which went into overtime. And eventually the Rangers won this game as well in a 3-2 shootout.
The Game
It was a cautious approach to start this contest. Both teams only fired six shots on goal despite each earning a power play. The most entertaining aspect of the period was the energy that Jean-Luc Foudy brought to the ice in his five shifts during the period.
