DENVER — The Avalanche made a six-layer tank sandwich.
Six consecutive wins in which they never trailed were surrounded by losses to NHL bottom-feeders: Chicago before the beginning, and now Anaheim at the end.
The Ducks scored tying and go-ahead goals 24 seconds apart in the third period to complete a comeback from 2-0 and 3-1 deficits Thursday night, resulting in a 5-3 Avalanche loss that seemed far-fetched for most of two periods.
