DENVER (AP) — Jared Bednar had a blunt, one-word summation after Colorado rallied for a 3-2 overtime win against the New York Rangers on Tuesday night. “Unimpressive,” the Avalanche coach said.
The Colorado Avalanche put up a short performance against division rival Minnesota Wild in their fourth of a five-game homestand. Nathan MacKinnon scores Colorado's lone goal in the 3-1 loss.

It hasn't been perfect, certainly hasn't been easy, but the dig-in and buy-in from our players to this point this season has been really good."
