Second Star Colorado’s first two goals, scored 10 seconds apart, are the second-fastest two goals in franchise Darcy Kuemper (37 svs) postseason history. Adam Foote and Adam Deadmarsh scored seven seconds apart in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals against Detroit on May 23, 1996. Third Star Gabriel Landeskog (1a) The Avalanche scored all three of its goals in a 1:23 span of the third period, the third-fastest three tallies by the club in franchise history. The other two instances were in Game 4 of the 2001 Conference Quarterfinals (0:38) and Game 4 of the 2001 Conference Finals (1:18). TEAM STATS The Avs limited Arizona to 14 shots, Colorado’s fewest shots against in a postseason game in Avalanche franchise history.

Power Play: 0-2 Both Grubauer and Pavel Francouz have now registered a shutout in the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Penalty Kill: 1-2 the first time in franchise history in which multiple Avalanche/Nordiques goaltenders have recorded at least one shutout in a postseason. Faceoffs: 48% Nazem Kadri, Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen have tallied a point in each of Colorado’s first four postseason contests, the first Avalanche players to start a playoff season with a point streak of at least four games since 2003-04 when Peter Forsberg (7 games), Joe Sakic (6 games) and Rob Blake (4) did it. Kadri’s goal stood as the game winner and is his second of the postseason, tied (five players) for the most in the league. He also finished with seven shots on goal, a new postseason career high that surpasses his previous best of six (2x - Aug. 2, 2020 vs. St. Louis and April 15, 2017 at Washington). Erik Johnson finished with a postseason career high eight shots, the most shots by an Avalanche defenseman in a playoff game since Rob Blake had nine on May 11, 2006 vs. Anaheim..

  • COLORADO AVALANCHE VS. MIGHTY DUCKS of ANAHEIM Special Teams Avs’ Best Bet by ADRIAN DATER | the DENVER POST
    8D The Denver Post g Friday, May 5, 2006 AVALANCHE COLORADO AVALANCHE VS. MIGHTY DUCKS OF ANAHEIM Special teams Avs’ best bet BY ADRIAN DATER | THE DENVER POST The Avalanche gets the edge in almost every category here, so it’ll be a blowout, right? Wrong. The Ducks showed they are a formidable team in knocking off Northwest Division champion Calgary in the first round. They also have the home-ice advantage in the series. But we saw how much home ice was worth to Western teams in the first round — zip. The Avs look a little deeper and a little more talented overall than the Mighty Ducks. It’ll be a close series, but the bet here is the Avs will find a way to win again. PREDICTION: AVALANCHE IN SIX GAMES THE AVS ADVANTAGE OFFENSE THE DUCKS Who would have believed the Avalanche of and balanced Mighty Ducks, Colorado needs 2006 would be a more potent offensive team another good series from usual suspects Joe than the one of 2003-04 that included Peter Sakic, Milan Hejduk and — maybe even more Forsberg, Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne? than in the first round — Alex Tanguay. Alex Tanguay The new NHL rules are partly responsible The Ducks are led by, surprise, surprise: Jeff Vinnick for that, but these Avs are a deeper, more Selanne. The friendly Finn was awful for the Getty Images balanced offensive team than that so-called Avs in his one season here, but surgery to his “superstar” team.
