For the second time in three meetings this season the Avs dominated the game against San Jose in every area but the scoreboard, but found a way to prevail.
Colorado dominated for at least 50 minutes, if not more, but needed late goals from Valeri Nichushkin and Josh Manson to grab a 3-1 win Sunday night at Ball Arena.
Nichushkin scored during a 6-on-5 situation after Miles Wood drew a penalty. Nathan MacKinnon, the extra attacker, sent the puck to Jack Johnson and he connected with Nichushkin for a one-timer with 3:29 remaining in the final period.
