There’s a lot of different methods of breaking out of slumps and team troubles and all that kind of stuff,” Getzlaf said. But most of them involve something off the ice, where you get together as a group. You do some things as a group, a team dinner or whatever it is.
Both teams won a game and produced three points in the series. That’s a good road weekend for the rebuilding Ducks, who entered the set on an eight-game winless skid and stood last in the eight-team West Division. That’s a concerning home weekend for the Avs, who — despite all their injuries — failed to win a game in regulation and continue to play with fire with their backup goaltender.
Renouf and MacDonald have just 18 NHL games played between the two of them and the Ducks did their best to apply pressure to both defensemen. Conor Timmins is also relatively inexperienced as well and the Ducks made sure he did not feel left out either. As good as the Avalanche are offensively, it’s been their defense that has been the strong point this season and honing in on a weakened defense is something that the Ducks tried to take advantage of.
