Colorado Avalanche down Carolina Hurricanes 3-1
The Colorado Avalanche made the third stop their eastern conference road trip for an afternoon (or morning back at home) affair with the Carolina Hurricanes. Taking the momentum from their big win in New Jersey, the Avalanche were tasked with stopping another hot team in the Hurricanes. And that they did with a 3-1 victory in this contest.
Canes rookie Warren Foegele took a high-sticking penalty early in the period, giving the Avs a power play. Mikko Rantanen was making music early, setting up Tyson Barrie for a shot from the wing, and then later he passed to Nathan MacKinnon for a shot that Hurricanes netminder Curtis McElhinney caught with his chest-protector.
