Even though Mika Zibanejad is on a season-best six-game point streak, there are serious concerns about his decline in play

Devon Toews scored 4:23 into overtime, and the Colorado Avalanche began a five-game homestand with a win over the New York Rangers.

Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar had a blunt, one-word summation after his team rallied for a 3-2 overtime win against the New York Rangers, calling it “unimpressive.”

Earlier in overtime, Colorado killed off a power play following an interference penalty on Mikko Rantanen, and Avalanche goalie Mackenzie Blackwood stopped Mika Zibanejad on a breakaway.

The Rangers earned a point but left one in the table in their 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche. Up 2-1 late, New York surrendered the tying tally with 1:13 remaining to Artturi Lehkonen who potted a rebound off a shot that Igor Shesterkin likely should have gobbled up.

Jared Bednar wasn’t happy with his team’s performance on Tuesday and made that clear postgame. But the Avalanche were still victorious, erasing a late third-period deficit before getting another overtime game-winning goal from Devon Toews.
