The Colorado Avalanche continue to be terrible, falling 6-3 to the Calgary Flames and destroying their one-game win streak.
Anything positive at the Pepsi Center these days is met with a great deal of skepticism. That’s why Avalanche fans had to temper their excitement when Nathan MacKinnon skated the puck into Calgary’s zone, drew in three opponents and dished to Gabriel Landeskog keeping pace down the left-hand side. The captain then unleashed a precision-guided top-shelf slap shot to put the Avalanche up 1-0 with 1:38 left in the opening period.
The Avalanche would head into the locker room with a lead.
