Jared Bednar was insightful in Wednesday’s postgame press conference. From a defensive standpoint, Colorado played a strong game, though Dostál—who has been hot and cold at times this season—was simply playing out of his depth. Bednar wasn’t pleased with the team’s puck movement in the opening period, but that improved as the game went on. Even so, for much of the night, the Avalanche couldn’t find a way to get a puck past him. Dostál made highlight-reel saves throughout the evening. Sometimes, that’s just hockey.
