Anatomy of a comeback: 5 Avalanche takeaways from resilient win over Ducks

Ball Arena went from eerily silent to incredibly loud.

The Avalanche took its home fans through an emotional rollercoaster on Sunday in a 4-2 comeback victory over Anaheim. Here is a breakdown of how Colorado (18-8-2) made it happen.

Slow start. The first 20-plus minutes were painful to watch.

Colorado lacked precision in nearly all facets with sloppy passes and giveaways galore. Darcy Kuemper allowed a goal less than two minutes into the game. The Avs trailed 2-0 midway through the second period. Their 16-day break in between games appeared to take its toll both physically and mentally.
