For the first time all season, the Vancouver Canucks (37-15-6) suffered their third consecutive loss, falling 3-1 to the Colorado Avalanche (35-18-4). With the loss, Vancouver’s record drops to 21-5-1 when leading after the first period. This was also the Canucks’ third straight loss to the Avalanche, with their last win coming on Jan. 5, 2023.
While Vancouver played well, luck was not on their side tonight. They had plenty of chances around the net but somehow couldn’t beat Alexandar Georgiev more than once on the night. For a team that was on a back-to-back, which included odd start times and high altitude, it is hard to fault the Canucks overall effort in their loss to Colorado.
