Miner made 28 saves.<\/p>\n<p>It was Colorado&#8217;s first loss at home since Oct. 23, ending a 17-game winning streak. The Avalanche are 19-0-3 overall at Ball Arena this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvenly played game, probably,\u201d Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. \u201cEven first, they beat us in the second. I thought we were better in the third, but you got to play a full 60 if you want to win. It&#8217;s just that simple. So, we weren&#8217;t quite there tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cowan gave Toronto a 1-0 lead at 11:15 of the first period when his backdoor pass for McMann from the left corner deflected inside the right post off the skate of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/brent-burns-8470613\" title=\"Brent Burns\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brent Burns<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a pretty fun game. That&#8217;s a good team over there, and we stuck to our game and [were] right there with them the whole time,\u201d Woll said. \u201cJust an exciting game all the way through, down to the last shot. &#8216;Willy&#8217; coming in clutch again is huge for us. So, yeah, big win for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Makar tied it 1-1 at 16:12. Necas spun away from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/jake-mccabe-8476931\" title=\"Jake McCabe\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jake McCabe<\/a>, who fell down, above the outside edge of the left circle before sending a cross-ice pass to Makar, who roofed a shot over Woll&#8217;s left shoulder from the right circle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was great pass by him. I think that&#8217;s when we&#8217;re at our best dynamic in the O-zone,\u201d Makar said. \u201c[Burns] and I are kind of rolling around up top and then still being responsible, but then finding those seams and opening them up. So, it was a great pass by Marty, and he started it for us tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cale Makar and Martin Necas each had a goal and an assist, and Nathan MacKinnon had three assists&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":406521,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-406520","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406520","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=406520"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406520\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/406521"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=406520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=406520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
