Game Recap: Avalanche Handle Rangers

Wagner and Duchene score goals, Colorado claims another victory on the road.

One word to describe the First Period? Woof. If your idea of entertaining hockey is shots toward the net, then you may have been better off skipping this one. Just twenty-three pucks were fired at the net between the two teams, with only seven actually getting to there. Yeah, it was as boring as it sounds, with pucks bouncing over awaiting sticks, getting stuck in corners, and idling innocuously at in the neutral zone. The Rangers, held to just one shot on goal for much of the early going got a "Bronx Cheer" from the home crowd shortly after recording their second.
