Charlie Coyle led the Colorado Avalanche to a 4-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks with a goal and two assists during a four-goal third period. Jack Drury, Wyatt Aamodt, and Erik Johnson also contributed to the Avalanche's comeback win. The Ducks, with goals from Mason McTavish and Sam Colangelo, suffered their second consecutive defeat as Lukas Dostal made 20 saves in the losing effort.
The Avalanche, already set for a first-round playoff matchup with Dallas, opted to rest key players such as Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar. Despite recent struggles, Colorado's late surge showcased their depth against Anaheim. Ian Moore made his NHL debut for the Ducks, recording three shots on goal in over 15 minutes of ice time. The Ducks, missing the playoffs for the seventh straight year, have won just two of their last six games.
Looking ahead, the Avalanche will face Dallas in Game 1 of the playoffs, while the Ducks will conclude their season with a two-game road trip against Minnesota.
