The Avalanche are unable to conquer their demons mustering just one goal against the Stars and falling in the shootout. Despite quality play all around a Cale Makar PP goal was not enough for the Avs to win.   📬 Denver sports in your inbox: https://thednvr.com/newsletter   An ALLCITY Network Production   PARTY WITH US: https://thednvr.com/events   ALL THINGS DNVR: https://linktr.ee/dnvrsports   BALL-KNOWER BONUS/Merch: https://promotion.allcitynetwork.com/all   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtu...

The Avalanche struggled with execution and the details in a matinee loss to the Winnipeg Jets. Necas with a non meaningful 6 on 4l5 goal was all the Avs could muster.
