As the Colorado Avalanche were grinding out their shootout win to beat the Vancouver Canucks, their AHL-affiliate was having more pronounced success. They were facing the Avalanche’s former AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage, and delivering a beatdown. The final score was 6-0 with Pavel Francouz earning the shutout.
That wasn’t even the most noteworthy thing that Francouz did last night, but we’ll get to that in a moment.
The two Avalanche prospects most recently sent down, Andrew Agozzino and A.J. Greer, scored for the Eagles. In fact, Agozzino earned a hat trick.
