Nathan MacKinnon scores lone shootout goal for Colorado to lead Stanley Cup champs to a 2-1 road win
The Maple Leafs went toe to toe with the Stanley Cup champions on Wednesday and lost 2-1 in a shootout to the Avalanche at Scotiabank Arena.
Colorado had won 10 of its past 14 and is 18-5-3 over its past 26. It has also won six of the past seven on the road. “I feel we were pretty comfortable where we were at but we were not pushing as hard as we could have. Hopefully our best hockey is yet to come and we can get healthier than we have all season.”
Georgiev is 14-3-2 in his past 19 starts and 10-2-2 in his past 14 assignments. He is 30-14-5 overall.Left wide open in front of the net, Morgan Rielly got Toronto on the board first with a crisp wrist shot that eluded Georgiev into the right corner less than four minutes after the puck drop. Mitch Marner and Calle Jarnkrok picked up assists – it was the ninth in four games for Marner.
Rantanen is now tied for third in goals in the NHL with Leon Draisaitl, who is a dozen behind Edmonton teammate Connor McDavid. David Pastrnak of Boston is second with 46.
