Avs Rally Past Maple Leafs, 5-4 in OT, For Record 11th Straight Home Win

The good times are rolling for the Colorado Avalanche.

The Avs rallied from down 4-1 to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs, 5-4 in overtime, on Saturday at Ball Arena.

The win was the 11th straight at home for Colorado, a new team record. Their last loss at Ball Arena was November 3 against Columbus.

Defenseman Devon Toews scored the game-winning goal at 1:12 of the extra session. That capped a three-goal comeback for the Avs, who trailed 4-1 after Nick Ritchie scored for Toronto at 5:39 of the second period.

Cale Makar scored 11 minutes later to bring the Avs within 4-2 at the second intermission.

Then in the third period, Gabriel Landeskog put home a goal at 10:06 before J.T. Compher tied it with 8:18 left in regulation.

Avs starting goalie Darcy Kuemper had an off night and left the game after giving up three goals on eight shots. Pavel Francouz came in and stopped 18 of the 19 shots he faced.

The Avalanche has won four straight games and nine of its last 10 overall going back to December 6.
