Colorado Avalanche escape Vancouver with a 4-2 victory

After another extended break filled with terrible injury updates the Colorado Avalanche headed to the Pacific Northwest in hopes of keeping their recent momentum alive against the hapless Vancouver Canucks. After a quick start the Avalanche took half of the game off before finding enough firepower to get the job done and seal a 4-2 victory.

The Game

It was the visitors who got on the board first thanks to a Mikko Rantanen power play goal at 7:17. The initial half of the first frame had the Avalanche in full control and were outshooting Vancouver 9-1 at one point and had the home team in turmoil on the ropes.
