Alex Stalock has been awesome all season long, and he turned in one of his best stops in the first period.
The first goal for Colorado - a shot by Kurtis MacDermid from the point - went in off Mitchell's shin pad, and that was just an unfortunate break.Ĥ. It's important to note as well that Mitchell was playing on the left side, which isn't somewhere he's used to playing, especially as a right-handed shot defenseman. The Avalanche scored on their only power-play of the night.ģ. Ian Mitchell drew back into the lineup, and he got dragged through the mud on Denis Malgin's first goal in the second period, but the play started because of a turnover in the offensive zone after Boris Katchouk tried sweeping the puck toward the net, which got blocked and led to an odd-man rush. You have to win the special teams battle to give yourself a chance to beat the Avalanche, but that's obviously easier said than done. The Blackhawks' first power-play of the game was pretty good, picking up where they left off on Saturday. The Avalanche scored two goals late in the third period to completely pull away.Ģ. The mistakes they made on the goals against were just glaring, which is why the result looks worse than it actually was. The score doesn't look great, but I didn't think the Blackhawks played all that badly, at least through two periods.
