Key forwards return for the Avalanche, but so does goaltending woes in loss to Capitals

The much-needed reinforcements arrived Friday night for the Colorado Avalanche, but another early-season headache also returned.

Colorado Avalanche goalie Trent Miner comes in to replace goaltender Justus Annunen after Annunen was pulled in the second period of an NHL hockey game against the Washington Capitals, Friday, Nov. 15, 2024, in Denver.

The Caps answered with a power-play goal at 4:25. Jakub Vrana’s one-timer from the top of the right circle was Washington’s first official shot on goal in the game. Miner stopped the first three shots of his NHL career, including a tricky deflection by Ovechkin, but a turnover at the offensive blue line by Sam Malinski turned into a Jakob Chychrun rush shot from distance that the rookie goalie could not handle at 9:21 of the second.
