Varlamov stops 51 shots, Avs bounce back to beat Leafs 3-1
TORONTO — A night after a most deflating defeat, the Colorado Avalanche didn’t exactly take out their frustrations on the Toronto Maple Leafs.
No, they just got a stellar effort from their Russian goaltender.
Semyon Varlamov made 51 saves, helping Colorado rebound from a miserable loss with a 3-1 victory over the Maple Leafs on Sunday night.
The Avs fell 10-1 to Montreal on Saturday, allowing 10 goals in a game for the first time since moving from Quebec for the 1995 season.
