The Colorado Avalanche suffered a 3-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night, with Kiefer Sherwood scoring all three goals for the Canucks. The Avs had a strong second period but couldn’t overcome Demko’s performance in goal. The power play has been struggling, with only 5 goals in the last 18 games.
Mackenzie Blackwood had a strong performance in net, but didn’t get enough support from the team. Tye Felhaber made his NHL debut, becoming the eighth player to do so this season. The Avs have used 36 different players in just 33 games this season, with several rookies making their mark.
The team is hoping for the return of Josh Manson to strengthen the defense. Manson could play in one of the upcoming California games. Overall, the Avalanche are looking to bounce back from the loss and improve their power play performance.
