The Colorado Avalanche landed in front of the Winnipeg Jets.
Coach Jared Bednar criticized the players and expressed his disappointment after the match.
“We weren’t committed enough,” he says, according to the Denver Post.
But they did not leave the match empty-handed. Winnipeg didn’t even decide on overtime. There, it took Neil Boynek just 31 seconds to score 4-3.
– We made some serious mistakes that we had to pay for in one way or another, says Colorado star defender Cal Makar after the loss according to TT.
Disappointment from the first period
Colorado dropped 0-2 already after the first 20 minutes. According to striker Mikko Rantanen, there is a simple explanation for this.
– Our strength is skating a lot. We didn’t do it in the first, we did it more often in the second and third, he says.
He got approval from coach Jared Bednar.
– We weren’t committed enough from the start, says the coach.
Bednar moved the chains in an attempt to get the team to wake up.
– We haven’t started anything except for the first series.
The Colorado All-Stars streak accounted for all three goals, with Rantanen taking the lead with two full strokes and one assist.
Swede Axel Johnson Philby made his Winnipeg debut.
With three seconds remaining in the Florida Panthers-Philadelphia Flyers, Travis Konicney scored. But by that time it was already too late for the pilots. The reduction meant 3-4 and Gustav Forslings, who was in charge of assisting, immediately took Florida back after losing the last time against Boston.
