After playing an excellent, up-tempo game against the Edmonton Oilers, the Colorado Avalanche were back in action Wednesday night against the Vancouver Canucks and could only manage one goal against a struggling, backup goalie.

The Avalanche looked good in some aspects but struggled in others, with a glaring 1/5 on the power play against the leagues worst penalty kill. Darcy Kuemper, while only giving up two goals, made some uncharacteristic decisions which could have cost him more than just the two he gave up. The Avalanche seemed to revert back to making one too many passes when open looks seemed to be ripe for the taking.

In the end, it's a loss and one you can chalk up to being just that for a team that does a good job rallying to not make it more than that. You would expect a much better start to finish performance when the bottom standing Philadelphia Flyers come to town on Friday.

Chris and Kyle break it all down!
