Avalanche captain Gabe Landeskog played angry in the desert when he wrapped his arms around Arizona Coyotes forward Conor Garland and slammed him to the ice in one easy motion. A slumbering Colorado team on Friday night — lacking physicality in consecutive losses — suddenly woke up. The Avs defeated the Coyotes, 3-2, as forward Nazem Kadri recorded three points (one goal) and the team played without two key faces in the lineup. Forward Matt Calvert participated in warmups but was ruled out before the game started with an upper-body injury.
