Granlund, Gauthier score in shootout as Ducks beat Avalanche 2-1
DENVER (AP) --- Mikael Granlund and Cutter Gauthier scored in the shootout and
Lukas Dostal stopped 40 shots as Anaheim defeated the NHL-leading Colorado
Avalanche for the Ducks' fifth straight win Wednesday night.
Jeffrey Viel scored in his second straight game as the Ducks opened a six-game
road trip.
Artturi Lehkonen scored for Colorado, and Scott Wedgewood made 16 saves.
Alex Killorn played in his 1,000th career NHL game. He spent 11 years with
Tampa Bay, winning the Stanley Cup twice, before signing with Anaheim as a free
agent in 2023.
Colorado forward Valeri Nichushkin returned after missing Monday night's win
over the Washington Capitals. He was involved in a car accident on his way to
the rink and was held out as a precaution.
The Avalanche played without Gabriel Landeskog (upper body), defenseman Devon
Toews (upper) and forward Joel Kiviranta (lower body). Forward Logan O'Connor
has yet to play this season as he recovers from offseason hip surgery.
