For the first time in a seven-game stretch, the red-hot Avalanche on Saturday collected points without using a comeback. Colorado improved to 6-0-1 in its last seven games by dominating the Arizona Coyotes 5-0 at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Ariz.
“I liked the way played throughout the whole 60 minutes, the consistency of our game. And it helps when you when you’re playing with the lead, to be able to do that,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said.
Colorado rallied to defeat the Coyotes in a shootout on Friday in Denver. The Avs came from behind to force overtime at Nashville on Tuesday before losing, and they rallied to defeat the Seattle Kraken on Monday at Ball Arena for their fifth consecutive comeback victory.
