Going on to the ice, the Avalanche new it would be a tough match up against the division leading Canucks, but that didn't stop them.
Team Captain, Gabriel Landeskog scored goal early in the game, at 1:50 in the first, that set this game off on a good note.
The Canucks weren't going to give up so easily, as they scored the only goals in the second period. As the period ending buzzer rang, the teams skated off the ice, Canucks up 2-1.
The third period would bring another great comeback by Colorado. Avalanche defensemen, Cody McLeod, tied the game at two early on in the third as he scored his first goal of the season.
Canucks, Jason Garrison, responded with a goal within two minutes of Cody's to put the Canucks back up, 3-2. This lead wouldn't stop forward, P.A. Parenteau, as he tied the game up at three with a beautiful wristshot, 12:57 into the third.
As the clock winded down, both teams remained tied at three, and it seemed that overtime would be inevitable. However, the Avalanche gain control of the puck, and Jan Hejda slaped it in the net with just seven seconds left in the period. Hejda's first goal of the season, resulted in another Avalanche buzzer beating victory.
The Avalanche left their mark on the division leader, as they outscored Vancouver, 4-3, Saturday afternoon.
