Not all of tonight’s game felt as lopsided as the final score, but it certainly would by the end, as the Avalanche completely fell apart in the third to drop their third game of the road trip 5-1 to the New York Islanders
Tonight’s scoring kicked off with a name we haven't been able to mention in the scoring column for, oh, 51 games. Joe Colborne, who kicked off his Avalanche career with an opening night hat trick, had been held scoreless ever since. That is, until Fedor Tyutin stole the puck in the neutral zone and pushed it up to Andreas Martinsen, who then found Colborne wide open skating up center ice.
