The Colorado Avalanche struggled on the power play, going 0/3 in almost five minutes of power play time, including a crucial late opportunity they failed to convert. They are 2-for-29 on the man advantage in February, with only three power play goals in the last ten games. Coach Jared Bednar emphasized the need to attack more and retrieve loose pucks on the power play, which paid off as the team scored. Tyler Bertuzzi scored for the Avalanche, drawing a penalty and netting a one-timer goal, leading to a 2-1 score against the Leafs.
Tyler Bertuzzi drew a penalty on #Avs Ross Colton and then hammered home a one-timer at the far post on a sweet setup from Mitch Marner. 2-1 Avs

Colton didn't like that call, but it looked fairly obvious to me. Leafs make it look very easy on the powerplay, as Bertuzzi is all alone at the side of the net. 2-1.
Bertuzzi, from Marner for a quick strike on the power play. It's 2-1 COL now.
Bertuzzi on the PP from Marner. Leafs get one back. 2-1
#Avs coach Jared Bednar has talked about needing to attack more and retrieve loose pucks on the PP. That was a clinic on both fronts. Leafs had … four chances to get it out? Eventually Lehkonen redirects a MacKinnon shot-pass into the net. 1-0 Avs
Avs were just 2-for-29 on the PP in the last nine games since the All-Star break. That's their third PP goal in 10 games
NEW📰@MileHighSports With the game on the line, the Avs had a PP opportunity late in regulation but failed to convert. They're 2-for-29 on the man advantage in February. On the struggling PP, letting another game slip away & Annunen's strong performance. https://t.co/iRc6oOFz6M

Avs were 0/3 in 4:59 of PP time. None bigger than the chance late in regulation.
