Don't let him around goalies
First it was Tomas Vokoun. Now it's Craig Anderson.
Florida defenseman Keith Ballard drove the net late in overtime, lost his balance and careened into Anderson, knocking the netminder out of the game for the final minute and the shootout. Anderson's head hit the post after the collision.
The Avalanche forced overtime by scoring twice in the final minute with Anderson pulled, getting goals from Matt Duchene - his second of the night - and T.J. Galiardi at 19:44 to knot the score at 5-5.
