Sometimes, it’s better to cut bait and avoid any more damage.

That certainly proved to be a prudent mantra for the Colorado Avalanche this season.

It proved to be a night-and-day difference between the two tandems. Annunen had a 6-4-0 record to go along with a 3.23 goals against average (GAA) and a .872 save percentage (SV%). Similarly, Georgiev had a record of 8-7-1. He posted a 3.38 GAA and a .874 SV%.
