Canes End Western Swing With More Special Teams Horrors

When It Rains It Pours…

Then, Colorado kicked it into overdrive.

Scoring four goals in just 7:41, the Avalanche pulled the Canes out of the driver’s seat with authority and threw them in the rear-review mirror before speeding off with a 6-3 lead.

Two of their four goals game on the power play, as Carolina upped their league lead in penalties and simultaneously aided a Colorado offense that needs no help.

Fredrik Olofsson, Arrturi Lehkonen, Nathan MacKinnon, and Mikko Rantanen pumped a plethora of energy into the home crowd and it would be ultimately too much to overcome for Carolina.

Colorado-born Jaccob Slavin would register the lone goal of the third period, but when the final horn sounded, the final score reflected 6-4.
