Colorado’s Mikko Rantanen had his point streak end at 14 games and Nathan MacKinnon ’s streak ended at eight for the Avalanche (25-16-1), who were 7-0-1 in their previous eight games. Trent Miner, making his first NHL start, made 17 saves.

This was already going to be a difficult road trip for the Colorado Avalanche, with the two teams ahead of them in the Central Division standings looming. Losing to the club at the bottom of the division certainly didn’t help.
