The Colorado Avalanche’s best players put the team in a big hole Monday night with some suspect work without the puck.
Then they reminded everyone of how quickly they can turn a game with their offensive firepower.
Colorado yielded four goals in an ugly second period, but rallied for a 6-5 victory that was far more about the result than the overall process. The Avs had lost five of six before this, and appeared to be headed for the worst defeat of the funk before one strong period bailed them out.
The Avs scored three times in 4:10 during the third to erase a 5-3 deficit.
