I’d like to see us move it, shoot it a little more. I thought they did a really nice job early. It doesn’t have to be a fancy, highlight-reel play. It’s just got to get to the net and make sure we have numbers.”Compher found the net when he camped out to the right of Fleury and tipped in Mikko Rantanen’s shot to give the Avalanche an early 1-0 lead.
