2nd period impressions: When it rains it pours. Four goals in the period for the Eagles to have a 3-2 lead. Eagles keeping the pace on their shots on goal and are keeping the pressure on the Wild. Play smart hockey and out of the box #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado

14:23 left in the 2nd and the Eagles have killed a penalty and now will head to the PP themselves for the third time tonight #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado
1st period impressions: Eagles are throwing everything but the kitchen sink on net. They are following the shots & are ready for the rebound to take advantage of the secondary shot. Eagles doing a great job moving the puck in the zone #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado
Malinski draws a cross-checking penalty and the Eagles will get their second chance on the PP. They have already scored on the PP tonight. #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado
Brad Hunt with a hard slapper from the blue line that works its way through the crowd. Assists come from Burke and Kero and the Eagles are up 1-0. #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/xrK8lw3bvn
Sam Malinski was out for the first PK unit, already noticing that he is a lot more aggressive towards the play. He has a lot more confidence. #Avs #GoAvsGo📷 #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado

Cedric Pare will draw the first whistle of the game with a tripping call and send the Eagles to the PK less than three minutes into the game #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado
Annunen gets the crease again for the third gam in a row. Malinski was able to make the trip in time from STL to Des Moines to play his 2nd game in 22 hours. #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/CWk3eKgP8W
Three-period takeaways from #stlblues 2-1 loss against #avs included a strong start but coming out of first tied 1-1 probably didn't do period justice; power-play had chance to win game, failed; #avs pounce on fortunate break to claim win: https://t.co/YmZxrmwDcE
Sam Malinski has seen 14 games of NHL action so far. He has 1 goal and 4 assists and averages just over 14 mins of ice time a game. He only saw the penalty box twice. Sam Girard could be making his comeback on Sun. #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/TDDyPVJI71
#Avs top time on ice Defense Cale Makar 24:45 Devon Toews 23:49 Bowen Byram 22:45 Forwards Mikko Rantanen 25:21 Nathan MacKinnon 23:37 Valeri Nichushkin 20:40 #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
MacKinnon's point streak ends but the Avs pull out a gutsy 2-1 win without the top guys needing to do all the work. - Great bounce-back game from Georgiev - Best I've seen Johansen play in weeks - Manson was a beast See ya'll at Ball Arena on New Year's Eve.
Avs manage to pull out the win 2-1 and MacKinnon' streak ends at 19 games #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
final: #avs 2, #stlblues 1
Wood redirects a dying puck in front of the crease to get the Avs ahead 2-1 with under three minutes left in regulation. Johansen and Nichushkin with the assists #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
That's a gutsy goal. Miles Wood redirects a point shot after a clean faceoff win for Johansen. 2-1 Avs late in the third
Avs win a face-off, shot from the point gets tipped in, 2-1 with 2:54 left. That's tough. #stlblues
Turns out to be a penalty shot! but Makar shut down and game remains tied #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/jPozmU4PFJ
2nd period impressions: #Avs look out of sync today. Missed passes leading to turnovers for the Blues. Avs are lacking confidence right now and it is showing. Lune changes even out sync leading to too many men. MacKinnon point streak on the line #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/ycjEMqR5qi
Avs looked completely lost on the PK, nearly drawn out of position several times in one minute #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Weird transition there, Blues set up a stretch pass to lead to a breakaway and the whistle blows as they take the shot on Georgiev #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Avs are on pace for 14 shots on goal for the entire game #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
1st period impressions: #Avs still look sluggish. They lack the quicker step to puck they usually have over their opponents. Avs need to look for ways to exit their zone along the edge and get the puck deep. Tie game at 1 #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/NwGeUqFPM0
MacKinnon gives the pass away shorthanded to Robert Thomas and he takes off to backhand the puck right over Geogiev to tie the game up with 3:21 left #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Lots and lots of O-zone time for Colorado, which results in a goal for Johansen, 1-0. Sundqvist/Blais lost a board battle that allowed the Avs to keep the puck, but there were plenty other miscues leading up to that. #stlblues
Johansen taps in career goal 200 to get the Avs back to a 1-0 lead with Manson and Drouin adding to the assists. Manson is on a mission tonight #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Career goal No. 200 for Ryan Johansen. Avs second shot of the game is a goal. 1-0
The #Avs now have three shots on goal and the third one went in. Ryan Johansen pokes in a rebound. 1-0 Avs, again, for real this time
Ryan Johansen on the doorstep, 1-0 #avs. It all started when two of the #stlblues fourth liners (MacEachern and Blais) lost a wall battle with one player. That can't happen.
Ryan Johansen stuffs home a rebound. 1-0, Avs.
Manson redeems himself by getting the goal and the Avs ahead 1-0. Love that secondary assist but the goal comes back after a review #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/e55qki5egy
Josh Manson makes it 1-0 on the first shot of the game for the Avs. Great pass by Olofsson.
Josh Manson gets his revenge. Brayden Schenn turnover, and Manson walks down the slot. 1-0, Avs.

That’s it for the first 20! Eagles had several good chances and scored early. They are aggressive in the offensive zone. Annunen looks alright in the net. Both teams have eight SOG, Wild is 1/2 on the PP and holds a 2-1 lead. #EaglesCountry #GoAvsGo

Coyotes pull their goalie and the extra attacker gets the job done. Tied at 4 with 2:07 to go. #Avs #GoAvsGo
4-2 game. Arizona finds an opportunity and shoots a cannon past Georgiev. 15:38 to go. #Avs #GoAvsGo

MacKinnon collects his second point of the night and the #Avs are 2/2 on the PP. 4-0. #GoAvsGo
