A great team game by the avs, but several stupid mistakes cost them a big 2 points. Two breakaway goals by Bobby Ryan off terrible turnovers doomed the avs, even though they outshot the Ducks 48-15. Hiller was incredible in net, as he certainly outdueled Giguere as he was facing his former team again. After being down 1-0, the avs coughed up a quick goal in the 3rd followed by Ryan's 2nd 4 minutes later. However, the avs continued to play hockey and picked it up. Goals from O'Reilly and Hejduk a minute apart got the avs close, but they couldn't tie it in the end.
Avalanche Three Stars:
3. Milan Hejduk - Hejduk had a goal, his 12th, and got the avs close
2. Ryan O'Reilly - Got the avs going with his 14th of the year and a great game overall
1. Gabriel Landeskog - 2 assists, 2 shots, 3 hits, just a great game
Misplay of the Game - Terrible line change leading to both Bobby Ryan's goals, can't give him 2 breakaways in the same game
Game #51 - The avs play their last game before the allstar break, against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday January 24
