Looking for a complete team effort to squash the finger-pointing from the lineup to the coaching staff, the Avalanche pulled off that and more Thursday night at Pepsi Center.
This wasn’t just a solid win. It was near-perfect in front of a sellout crowd.
The Avs cruised to a 4-0 victory over the San Jose Sharks in Game 3 of a five-game homestand. Colorado, which lost in overtime to Dallas on Tuesday after losing a defensive-end faceoff, scored twice off draws — one apiece from defensemen Cale Makar and Ryan Graves — got a shorthanded goal from Matt Calvert and a fine performance from goaltender Philipp Grubauer.
