The avs fought hard in this game, but an unlucky bounce lead to the 3-2 goal that doomed the avs. Giguere, playing again for the avs, was solid all night but let in a breakaway goal in the 3rd to Carson McMillan. Galiardi and Kobasew played for the avs, who were without top centres Matt Duchene and Ryan O'Reilly. Stefan Elliot was a healthy scratch, and looks to be the odd man out with Ryan Wilson/Jan Hejda both healthy. Overall, a good effort but not enough for the 2 points. The avs now head into the Allstar Break in 9th with 54 points and 1 back of 8th.
Avalanche Three Stars:
3. J.S Giguere - Had 31 saves, and really gave the avs a chance to win despite allowing 3 goals
2. Gabriel Landeskog - Another solid game, 1 assist +1 and 6 hits in over 21 minutes of work for the rookie
1. T.J Galiardi - Scored the opening goal, his 8th, and gave the team a boost without O'Reilly
Misplay of the Game - Turnover that lead to the 3rd goal, doomed the avs
Game #52 - Following the Allstar Break, the avs take a week rest into action against Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night (@930pm).
