The Colorado Avalanche got sunk by Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night, losing 6-2 on the road. McDavid scored six points - including a hat trick - in the win, while Andre Burakovsky scored both goals for the Avalanche. Adam Werner started the game, but after giving up five goals on 18 shots, he was replaced with Antoine Bibeau. The fourth-stringer managed to stop nine of 10 to stem the bleeding and finish off what was otherwise an awful night.
The Avalanche gifted the Oilers six power play opportunities in the game, and the Oilers converted on four of them, including all three of McDavid’s goals.
