Philipp Kurashev #23 of the Chicago Blackhawks flies through the air against the Colorado Avalanche during the second period at Ball Arena on March 20, 2023 in Denver, Colorado. Alexandar Georgiev made 27 saves and Denis Malgin had two goals and an assist, helping the surging Colorado Avalanche beat theMikko Rantanen got his 47th goal and an assist as the Avs posted their sixth consecutive win. Logan O’Connor and Kurtis MacDermid also scored.
Colorado star Cale Makar was scratched, but he is considered day to day with an undisclosed injury. His absence meant the Avs played without three of their top six defensemen. Josh Manson has missed three weeks, and Erik Johnson hasn’t played since Feb. 11. "I think the first two periods we actually had some good chances," Chicago defenseman Caleb Jones said. "They obviously had a couple there and got one on the power play, but they’re a good team and keep coming at you."
