Kiefer Sherwood and Dakota Joshua’s Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night, Denver, the Colorado avalanche defeated 4-1.
Jake Debrusk and Nils Hoglander also scored goals and Kevin Langinen made 31 shots for Vancouver (37-29-13, 87 points) in a row.
Devon Toews scored and saved 26 for Mackenzie Blackwood Colorado (48-28-4, 100 points). With the loss, the avalanche is locked to the third seed in the central section and probably encounters Dallas stars in the first round of playoffs.
NHL’s leading scorer, Colorado Center Nathan Mackinnon, was drawn for the first time this season and probably will sit for the last two matches to listen to playoffs. Coach Jared Bednar said that the reigning Hart Trophy winner (MVP) was “dealing with something”.
Without Mackinnon, Martin Necas took action to set up the top line.
The avalanche had the chance to pass the stars for the second time in the first round of the playoffs after losing Winnipeg at his home on Thursday night.
Canucks, despite the fact that Minnesota Wild was removed from the season he won on Wednesday night, he led the second term on Thursday.

When Sherwood then shifted to Canucks 3:01 on the right circle, he passed from Joshua and gave his disc on the disc by Blackwood.
Colorado, Toews Charlie Coele’s kick at 16:16 at the point of Langinen’in threw the gap in half.
Vancouver made 3-1 at the beginning of the third period. Aatu Ray, Marcus Petterson’un firing from the top of the area, Blackwood saved, but Joshua skate, and played at 6:14 in the rebound.
