The Colorado Avalanche had opportunities to continue its winning ways but could not take advantage of them against the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday.
The Avs saw their seven-game winning streak end, however they did extend their point streak to nine outings (7-0-2) with a 4-3 overtime loss at Pepsi Center.
"It was a tight-checking game, I don't think it was anything crazy, but they obviously have a lot of pride to play for and a lot of young guys and a lot of new guys trying to impress the new team," said Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog. "I thought we responded pretty good. I thought we gave them two easy goals at the start of the first and pace in the second period went down a little bit and that is on us.
"Overall, I think we were the better team tonight, and I thought we should have won this one. But you let them hang around and you don't capitalize on your chances--we had plenty of them--then you know, you end up with one point. We just got to start a new streak now I guess."
