Evolving game story, filed before the final buzzer with quotes to be added, is .
The Chicago Blackhawks went 2-of-4 on the power play in 6:31, and the Avs were 0-of-3 in 5:20 with the advantage, including a 40-second 5-on-3. Generally, that’s the difference in Chicago’s 5-2 triumph at the Pepsi Center. Colorado had its three-game winning streak snapped, as well as its six-game points streak. Patrick Kane scored an empty-netter with 6 seconds remaining for a three-point night. But make no mistake, the Avs are finally stringing together some solid end-to-end games. Their breakouts are relatively clean and they’re moving the puck into the offensive zone and sustaining pressure.
