Miles Wood has a particular brand of chaotic hockey, and this was a night that called out for it.
The Avalanche struggled to create offensive chances for much of the game against the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center, but one late flurry was enough. A Devon Toews shot from the left point was the difference with 2:54 remaining in a quirky 2-1 win, but Wood’s play leading to the faceoff and in front of the goalie just before Toews’ shot helped create the game-winning tally.
This was far from the prettiest win of Colorado’s season, but it could prove to be an important one.
