For the second time in five days, the Colorado Avalanche took care of business over the Chicago Blackhawks.
After the 5-0 win in the Windy City on Thursday, a similar feat was accomplished in the Mile High City on Monday. It would be the Avs winning 5-0 with a second straight shutout win over Chicago by the exact same scoreline.
This was a good bounce-back win for Colorado after falling flat Saturday night in Nashville in the third period. How did it all unfold at Ball Arena this time around?
First Period
With the Avs outshooting the Blackhawks early, they were looking to finish their chances after having a couple from Artturi Lehkonen and Mikko Rantanen miss in the early going.
