Tyson Barrie scored in the second period to become Colorado’s career goals leader among defencemen, Grubauer kept up his solid play with a 34-save performance and the playoff-chasing Avalanche beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 on Wednesday night. Paul Stastny, Reilly Smith and Alex Tuch scored for a Vegas team that was denied a chance to clinch a playoff spot. The Golden Knights fell into a 3-0 hole and couldn’t recover. With 7.6 seconds remaining, MacKinnon was called for holding the stick and the Golden Knights had a 6-on-4 opportunity. Can’t wait for those guys to come back, though.”NOTES: Golden Knights G Marc-Andre Fleury and LW Max Pacioretty were scratches.
