The Colorado Avalanche faced a tough game, conceding two goals within 15 seconds to the Senators due to a wide open backdoor and a bad bounce, which gave their opponents an early lead. The Avalanche's defense struggled, with Miles Wood in pain and the team incurring three penalties since the score reached 5-4, including two tripping calls that were disputed. Additionally, a potential penalty drawn by Makar was not called. The Avalanche also allowed a season-high 20 high-danger scoring chances and had the second-highest expected goals against in a game this season. Despite these challenges, goaltender Alexandar Georgiev finished with a positive goal saved above expected. In a separate game, the Eagles, with 13 shots on goal (SOG) compared to the Wranglers' 21 SOG, saw Alex Čiernik score a notable goal. However, the Eagles fell behind when the Wranglers scored on a power play, making it 2-1.
Yes, I was reminded of the value of this when reading over Deneen’s new book. If I hadn’t personally read many of the works he quotes from, I might have been misled by the extreme distortions all over. https://t.co/CZ3x0o6OQu
Miner has been fantastic in the crease. He has successfully saved 22 shots to keep Calgary at bay. #EaglesCountry #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Wranglers take advantage of a power play and take the lead once again. Eagles have 13 SOG to Calgary's 21. 2-1. #EaglesCountry #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Ivan Ivan was trying to escape a defender in his own zone and got hit with a hooking penalty (1st for either team) #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado
Almost six minutes to go in the first frame and the Eagles have put up four shots. The Wranglers have 14 SOG but have yet to get past Miner. #EaglesCountry #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Great shift and goal from Alex Čiernik, No. 22. Čiernik reads plays so well, turning on a dime or picking up rebounds in front. Even after losing the puck he regained position and kept the play alive. #WorldJuniors | #LetsGoFlyers https://t.co/syJgZxFzpr
The #Avs gave up a season-high 20 high-danger scoring chances tonight, per @NatStatTrick. Second-highest expected goals against of the season. Alexandar Georgiev went from about -2.4 goals saved above expected after Ottawa's fourth goal to +0.39 by the end. Wild night.
I don't like either tripping call on Malinski or Manson, but they were trips unfortunately #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Crazy desperation there from the #Avs. One guy without a stick and Miles Wood was in obvious pain. They got the puck out but took a second tripping penalty from diving at the puck. Three penalties on the #Avs since it went to 5-4. One that it looked like Makar drew not called.
Two goals in 15 seconds for the Sens and they take a lead in the first. Wide open backdoor on the first and a bad bounce on the second #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
