If Thursday night was a Stanley Cup Final preview, sign Avs fans up. Only with a different outcome.
Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon and New York Rangers center Alex Wennberg chase down the puck during the second period at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado on Thursday, March 28, 2024. New York Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren skates towards the play. New York beat Colorado 3-2 in a shootout at Ball Arena, giving the Rangers two extra-time wins over Colorado this year, in addition to sending the Avs to back-to-back losses for the first time in over a month.
Both teams took six shots and killed a penalty while playing to a 0-0 draw after the opening 20 minutes as the home crowd dueled its chants against the sizable New York fanbase in attendance. At the other end of the ice, Colorado had several chances, but Igor Shesterkin kept turning them away until the Avs finally lit the lamp with 32 seconds left in the period.
But it didn’t take long for the Rangers to respond in the third period, breaking up Georgiev’s shutout with Kaapo Kakko’s goal. The winger corralled a loose puck behind the left side of the net, and his wrister hit Georgiev’s back and rolled softly into the goal to make it 1-1 less than three minutes into the third.
A few minutes later, Colorado struck back with Devon Toews’s slapshot from near the blue line that was initially stopped by Shesterkin, but was deflected by a Rangers defender and rolled under the goalie’s leg to make it 2-2. Unsafe culture permeates Aurora VA's ICU, staffers allege. The message? “Shut up and do what you’re told.”
