The Avalanche’s 5-5-0 record on the road is decent. For the road. The Avalanche’s 4-5-1 record at home is not. Not for home ice. The similarly struggling Vancouver Canucks, who had played the night before at Dallas, took a 3-2 shootout win over Colorado on Saturday night at the Pepsi Center. In the shootout, Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Matt Duchene all failed to score for the Avalanche on Canucks backup goalie Jacob Markstrom, who had made 33 saves in regulation and the overtime, while Markus Granlund’s score on Colorado goalie Calvin Pickard on the Canucks’ first attempt in the shootout stood up for the win. Pickard made a save on the Canucks’ only other shooter, Loui Eriksson, but Vancouver didn’t even need to send out a third shooter after Markstrom’s game-ending save on Duchene. Mikhail Grigorenko and Jarome Iginla had the goals for the Avalanche, pulling Colorado into 1-1 and 2-2 ties, and Pickard made 29 saves in his sixth start of the season.
