In one of the strangest games of NHL hockey you will ever see, the Colorado Avalanche fell 2-1 to the Anaheim Ducks for their fourth straight loss.
The puck dropped a little after 8:00 PM mountain standard time, but you’d never know it by watching the Avalanche. After just a handful of shot attempts during the opening minutes, they would not attempt another shot—on goal, blocked, missed—for the remaining 12:38 of the period. Yeah, it was that bad. The Ducks had the Avalanche completely pinned in their own zone for shift after shift, barely allowing the puck to cross the red center line.
