Avalanche Turning Point: Why The Disastrous Third Goal For Vegas Happened (+)

In the Turning Point, we’ll take a look at one moment in the previous Colorado Avalanche game that changed the momentum of the game.

For the Avalanche right now, a two goal deficit in the road might seem insurmountable. After all, they haven’t scored a goal away from home in over three games. The reality is, in a two goal game, one goal gets you right back into it, so the game was still well within reach for Colorado in the second, even after giving up a goal halfway through the period.

A decision by the staff (and players) halfway through the powerplay worked against the Avalanche, and was compounded by some horrific decisions all over the ice.
