The Colorado Avalanche were able to hold back Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid in their 4-0 victory over Edmonton in Game 2 on Thursday. That ended Draisaitl’s nine-game point streak. This is just his second contest without a point in the 2022 playoffs. This was also just the second pointless game for McDavid over this postseason.
