20/21 Season Game 7 Colorado Avalanche @ New Jersey Devils

The Avs travelled to New Jersey for their 2nd game in a lengthy Eastern road swing. Fresh off another early season shutout, Philipp Grubauer looked to continue his hot start. New Jersey's high pressure defensive style dictated the 1st period and resulted in a 1-0 Devils lead thanks to a Damon Severson goal. The 2nd period is where things went downhill for Colorado. The Avs were controlling most of the shot attempts in the game but were unable to solve Corey Crawford as New Jersey added two more goals to put the Avs down 3-0. The Avs finally put one past Crawford when Kadri scored his team leading 5th goal of the season off of a Brandon Saad pass to the front of the net. Entering the final frame down by 2 and needing a big period, the Avs folded instead and allowed 2 more New Jersey tallies resulting in Grubauer being replaced by Francouz. Both goals came from former 1st overall pick Nico Hischier. The Avs made the score slightly more respectable when Andre Burakovsky was credited for Subban inexplicably putting the puck past his own netminder.
