For the past couple of months, the Colorado Avalanche have been holding on to some extra games in hand, providing fans with hope that their deficit in the standings could be overcome by these additional games. Those games in hand only help if you win them, and the Avs needed to get at least a point out of tonight’s extra game against the Anaheim Ducks to take the lead over Dallas and Minnesota going into the final three games of the season for all three teams. Against one of the worst teams in the league in Pavel Francouz’s return, it was surely going to be a simple, comfortable game for the Avs .
