The Avalanche is back to its winning ways after more than two weeks without playing a game.
Colorado rallied for a 4-2 victory Sunday at Ball Arena, overcoming a two-goal deficit that mirrored its sluggish start. Forward Logan O’Connor scored the game-winning goal with 71 seconds left in regulation. Colorado — in action for the first time since Dec. 16 due to COVID-19 pauses — extended its home winning streak to nine games.
The Avalanche (18-8-2) travels Tuesday to face the Chicago Blackhawks.
On Sunday, the Ducks flew ahead early with a rebound goal via forward Sam Carrick past Avalanche goalie Darcy Kuemper — just 1:55 into the game.
