It has been a fairly seamless process through the playoffs for the Colorado Avalanche, but they will have questions to answer for the first time in the postseason on Monday.
The Avalanche suffered a first defeat in the playoffs in Minnesota on Saturday, and a second straight loss would see them travel back to Colorado on level terms. It was a rare off night for the Avalanche’s defense on Saturday, as they allowed four goals in the opening two periods. Their only moment of offensive quality came in the form of a goal for Nathan MacKinnon in the second frame.
