After getting thoroughly trounced in a back-and-forth affair against one of the worst teams in the league on Thursday, the Preds proceeded to repeat the process against one of the best today.
The Avalanche got a good early look, but the Preds pushed back. Alexandar Georgiev was busy, and then busier when Cale Makar got visibly hurt blocking a shot and tried to push through it and stay on the ice. Cole Smith got the Preds on the board at 3:41, and Makar headed right off the ice with the whistle. Colton Sissons almost managed to increase the lead a moment later, but Georgiev had the save.
