Winning the division isn’t the be all, end all. Seems like recently we’ve wanted to win these hockey games. “Some nights we’re as good as we want to be. “That dedication to the way we have to play to have success is the key to it,” Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar said. When he’s going, I feel like everyone else is sharper.”Īlexandar Georgiev made 17 saves for injury-ravaged Colorado (38-22-6), which has found its game since the All-Star break and climbed within five points of the Central Division-leading Dallas Stars with two games in hand. “Been playing awesome,” Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram said of MacKinnon, who entered with 15 goals in his last 15 games. MacKinnon's five-game goal streak came to an end, but his play carried Colorado to the win. Mikko Rantanen scored in regulation for Colorado (38-22-6). TORONTO (AP) - Nathan MacKinnon was the only scorer in the shootout as the Colorado Avalanche defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 on Wednesday night.
