Avalanche Player Grades from Emotional Win Over Boston (+)

‘Cause baby, now we got bad blood

Jack Johnson: C – Barely missed getting his stick on Coyle for the second Bruins goal. He battled, but didn’t seem to have his best stuff tonight.

Erik Johnson: C – He was caught deep in the offensive zone with no help backing him up. These were the “brain cramps” Bednar was talking about this past weekend. Add an unnecessary penalty to give the Bruins a 5-3 and 3-1 lead…not a strong night for the vet. But, hey, he was trying to stick up for a teammate with those cross checks.

Devon Toews: A- – Six shot attempts and two on net. Over 30 (!!) minutes played.
