One final game on the road trip and prior to the trade deadline as the Colorado Avalanche visited the San Jose Sharks for another midnight hockey special. While the Avalanche took advantage of a team clearly reeling they also let it get too interesting in a eventual 5-3 victory.
The Game
This strange matchup unfolded with the Sharks getting on the board first on a Logan Couture breakaway. Jared Bednar challenged for offside and won on a very close play at the blue line but it was determined Couture had crossed before the puck.
