Pavel Francouz did a lot of ing in his NHL postseason debut

Avalanche goalie Pavel Fran­couz was called upon in a con­sec­u­tive-day sit­u­a­tion, and he cer­tain­ly wasn’t to blame in a Game 3 loss in which he allowed two goals high over his right shoul­der Sat­ur­day in Edmonton.

The top-shelf shots by Ari­zona for­wards Derek Stepan and Brad Richard­son prob­a­bly would have beat any goaltender.

Fran­couz, who backed up Philipp Grubauer in Games 1 and 2, stopped 11-of-12 shots in the first peri­od but faced just nine in the lat­ter 40 min­utes as the Avs dom­i­nat­ed offensively.

“I didn’t have any issues stay­ing in the game,” Fran­couz said after his NHL post­sea­son debut. “It’s tough when you’re stand­ing in there and just hop­ing for your team­mates to score.”

Grubauer is the like­ly starter for Monday’s Game 4, although no offi­cial announce­ment has been made.

Makar’s moments. Avs defense­man Cale Makar logged a team-high 25:42 and tied cen­ter Nathan MacK­in­non with a team-most sev­en shots. Makar’s shot total was most by an Avalanche rook­ie defense­man in post­sea­son his­to­ry and sec­ond-most by an Avalanche rook­ie since for­ward Chris Drury (nine) in 1999.

But Makar, as good as he is, might have been over­played at the end of the game. He had two chances to gain puck pos­ses­sion before the Coy­otes’ emp­ty-net goals and wasn’t able to do so. After­ward, Makar was seen on the bench with his head down and try­ing to col­lect his breath.

Foot­notes. Avs winger Joonas Don­skoi returned to the line­up after miss­ing Game 2. Winger Vladislav Namest­nikov was scratched after leav­ing ear­ly in Game 2 with what appeared to be an upper-body injury. … Don­skoi and winger Valeri Nichushkin failed to pro­duce a shot. Nichushkin also didn’t have a shot in Game 2 and remains point­less in the post­sea­son. … MacK­in­non assist­ed on Colorado’s sec­ond goal to extend his post­sea­son points streak to six games. … Winger Andre Burakovsky scored in his sec­ond straight game and third of the play­offs, match­ing his post­sea­son career-high from 2017 when he was with the Wash­ing­ton Cap­i­tals. … The Avs were 38–30 on face­offs (56%).
