GAME STORY: For the ninth consecutive game, the Avalanche produced a power-play goal. And on Thursday at Ball Arena, it served as the game-winning tally in a 4-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks. by MikeChambers
Winger Mikko Rantanen scored his team-leading 34th goal on the power play to give Colorado a 3-2 lead with 7:43 remaining in the third period. Winger Andre Burakovsky added one at even strength 3:01 later and the Avs completed a three-game regular-season sweep over San Jose.“Third period, we got ramped up offensively, for sure, but defensively, the whole night, I thought we were good,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said.
Colorado reached 102 points — sixth-most in club history — and still has 14 games remaining. The Avs improved to 27-4-3 at home. The weary Sharks were coming off a 5-2 loss at Arizona on Wednesday, and they lost an hour after arriving in Denver around 3 a.m. Thursday. But they rallied from 1-0 and 2-1 deficits, forging the 2-2 tie early in the third period shortly after the Avs took their second lead of the game.
“ made a good jump, knocked the puck down with his hand and made a pretty nice sauce pass over to me,” Helm said. “It was really nice play by him.”
