The Arizona backup goaltender stopped all 16 shots after taking over early in the third period when Darcy Kuemper left with an injury, Johan Larsson tipped in the go-ahead goal with 15:54 remaining and the Coyotes beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 on Monday night. "You just go there and close your eyes for a second and take a deep breath and focus on the game," Raanta explained of his game plan.
Girard, who was selected by Nashville in the second round of the draft (47th overall), is just the third defenseman from his draft class to reach 100 career points, joining first-rounders Mikhail Sergachev (122) of Tampa Bay and Charlie McAvoy (109) of Boston. It’s not something that you think about a lot but, yeah, it was pretty fun to hit 100,” Girard said after Monday’s morning skate. But it’s a new day and I need to focus for the game tonight.
Yeah, it’s still early in the NHL season. And there are obvious reasons for Colorado’s up-and-down performances. An insatiable injury bug.
