Alexandar Georgiev made 27 saves and Denis Malgin had two goals and an assist, helping the surging Colorado Avalanche beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-0 on Monday night. Mikko Rantanen got his 47th goal and an assist as the Avs posted their sixth consecutive win. Logan O'Connor and Kurtis MacDermid also scored.
Two people were killed in two separate avalanches in Colorado amid other recent, close calls with large avalanches. According to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC), three skiers were caught in a "large avalanche," in Maroon Bowl – a steep northwest-facing slope. "The avalanche broke about 200 feet wide and ran about 2,000 vertical feet," CAIC wrote in its preliminary report. On Friday, another avalanche caught three people in Upper Rapid Creek, southwest of the town of Marble.
Colorado's backcountry can be a dangerous place. Another two people -- one in Pitkin County and another in Gunnison County -- died in avalanches this weekend, raising the state's total to nine so far this year. The search and rescue teams that respond are almost entirely made up of volunteers. "We've been focused on the sustainability of our system," said Anna DeBattiste with the Colorado Search and Rescue Association.
