At the Avalanche’s first practice after a loss to St. Louis last week, coach Jared Bednar responded to a question about potential injuries from that game by half-jokingly commenting that Colorado “made it through one.”
The luck was short-lived.
The Avalanche blew a third-period lead and lost 4-3 to Vancouver on Wednesday night, adding insult to injury after a prolonged stretch when lineups on the ice barely resembled Colorado’s championship-defending roster.
