What happened: Colorado survived a seven-round shootout after giving up a two-goal lead in regulation for consecutive wins over Arizona.

What went right: The Avalanche scored twice within a span of 1:16 in the second period.

Mikko Rantanen notched the first goal when he corralled a loose puck for a wraparound goal. Then Bowen Byram nabbed a rebound for his eighth goal of the year. Later in the night, with Arizona tying the game, Valeri Nichushkin scored the go-ahead goal with 13:11 left in regulation. He extended the team’s streak to 11 games of scoring at least once on the power play.

Nichushkin was also the lone Avalanche player to score in the shootout with a nifty hesitation move.

What went wrong: It was an ugly scoreless first period with the teams combining for just 10 shots on goal. Arizona scored three goals in the third period.

Between the pipes: Alexandar Georgiev’s made 27-of-30 saves in regulation and overtime. Arizona’s Connor Ingram stopped 29 of Colorado’s 32 shots on goal.
