| The good news The Chicago Blackhawks can afford a collapse like this. No harm done. Still, with the playoffs around the corner, the best team in the West wants to be clicking on all cylinders. This wasnt exactly what they had in mind. Defenseman Erik Johnson went coast-to-coast to score at 157 of overtime and the Colorado Avalanche rallied from a three-goal deficit to beat the Blackhawks 4-3 on Tuesday night.Article continues below ... Johnson grabbed the puck near his goal, took advantage of a line change by the Blackhawks to cruise up the ice and beat goaltender Scott Darling with a nifty shot. It was Johnson second goal of the season after missing a chunk of the season with the broken leg he suffered on Dec. 3. We didnt play the way wed like to, Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. Well move forward. The Blackhawks are tuning up for the postseason with nothing left to play for in the regular season. Theyve already captured the [url=https://www.avalancheapparelshop.com/Jonathan_Bernier_Jersey-38]https://www.avalancheapparelshop.com/Jonathan_Bernier_Jersey-38[/url], who won for just the second time in 10 games. Mikhail Grigorenko tied it up early in the third period off a pass from Duchene. Theyre the best team in the West, a great team, and it fun to get a win, Johnson said. Artemi Panarin, Ryan Hartman and Marcus Kruger scored in the second period for the Blackhawks to stake them to a 3-0 lead. It wouldnt last as they remain stuck on a franchise record-tying 24 road wins [url=https://www.avalancheapparelshop.com/Joe_Sakic_Jersey-11]https://www.avalancheapparelshop.com/Joe_Sakic_Jersey-11[/url]. Darling was at his best with his team a man down late in the third, stopping one point-blank shot after another. He couldnt come up with the save on the OT shot by Johnson, who skated by Marian Hossa near the Avalanche goal, saw open ice and was off to the races. I was able to pick it up. There so much room in 3-on-3, Johnson said. I tried to make a move to the net and luckily it went in. Hartman scored his 19th goal of the season, one away from becoming the seventh Chicago player to reach 20. That sort of scoring balance could come in handy. We can have guys up and down the lineup scoring goals, he said. Close games it can really help and it can put you far into the playoffs. Patrick Kane had an assist for his 88th point of the season as he tries to keep pace with Connor McDavid of Edmonton in the scoring race. Kane was playing with a fat lip that required three stitches inside his mouth and seven on the outside, courtesy of being hit by an errant puck during pregame warmups in their previous game. The Avalanche finished with a season-high 51 shots, but couldnt seem to get anything past Darling except when the Blackhawks were on the power play. Duchene scored off a pass from Matt Nieto for a short-handed goal. Landeskog followed 415 later with another. They entered the game with three short-handed goals all season and none at home. It just when the puck decides to go in, it goes in, Duchene said. When it doesnt, it doesnt. Colorado recently called up center Rocco Grimaldi and defenseman Duncan Siemens from San Antonio of the American Hockey League. Siemens was the 11th overall pick in 2011 and played in his second career game both against the Blackhawks. He also saw action in the season finale on April 11, 2015. NOTES Chicago D Niklas Hjalmarsson didnt make the trip to Denver [url=https://www.avalancheapparelshop.com]https://www.avalancheapparelshop.com[/url]. He back home with some family matters, Quenneville said. C Artem Anisimov missed his 11th game , but has resumed skating. Darling made a career-high 47 saves. Duchene had a goal and two assists. |
