In the National Hockey League (NHL) tonight, the The Penguins of Pittsburgh, represented by Theodore Bluger, lost 2: 3 to Colorado’s Avalanche.
In the first period, spectators in Colorado did not see the gains. The best chance was for Bluger’s teammate Evan Rodriguez, who robbed an Avalanche player in the opponent’s area and slid alone against Darcia Camper without being able to score. The result was revealed right in the middle of the regular time – Andre Burakovski threw the blue line, Tristan Jerry repelled the puck, but lost sight of it. Miko Rantanen, meanwhile, saw the puck and threw it into the goal from the start – 0: 1.
Immediately after the episode, Pittsburgh had two great opportunities, starting with Sidney Crosby and later Jake Gencel alone against Camper, who remained unbeaten in the duel against the Penguins leaders. However, in the continuation of the period, Pittsburgh made an equalization – Crosby was the first to kick off the goalkeeper and threw it into the goal – 1: 1. Penguin The joys did not last long, as in the next attack, Avalanche striker Nicolas Ob-Kubel hit the puck in Jerry’s guarded fortress at a speed of 154 kilometers per hour.
In the final period, the Penguins played out – Gencel made a pass to defender Mike Mateson, whose camper did not handle. But again, what happened after Pittsburgh’s first goal – the next attack on the Avalanche – took the lead again – this time Devon Theway kicked the puck off the curb. One and a half minutes before the end of the siren, “Penguins” changed the goalkeeper to the sixth player of the field, the result is no longer changed. It should be noted that during the game the referees wrote only one rejection.
