Colorado Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar did not have many positive comments about his team following a 6-8 loss to the Vancouver Canucks.

Mackenzie Blackwood started the game and allowed six goals on 19 shots and Scott Wedgewood allowed another after relieving him. Goaltending was not the only issue, however. Bednar held his entire team accountable for the defeat.

One highlight was Nathan MacKinnon scoring his 50th goal, marking his second season with at least that many.
