The Colorado Avalanche were handed a third straight loss on Wednesday night at the hands of the West Division leading Vegas Golden Knights. The team continues to battle an identity crisis while attempting to weather the storm without the likes of Mikko Rantanen, Joonas Donskoi, Brandon Saad, and Philipp Grubauer, to name a few.
First Period
The Avs began the game behind the eight ball almost immediately as just ten seconds into the opening frame, Vegas’ William Karlsson cashed in on a bad bounce off of the skate of Samuel Girard.
