Avalanche beats St. Louis 3-1 in Prosvetov shiny debut

Ivan Prosvetov made a stunning debut with 28 saves in his first start for Colorado to help his team beat St. Louis Blues 3-1 on Wednesday night.

Mikko Rantanen had a goal and an assist to contribute for the win. Ross Colton, Artturi Lehkonen and Bowen Byram also had goals, and Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon had two assists apiece as Colorado snapped a two-game losing streak.

Prosvetov was claimed off waivers from Arizona in the beginning of October as main goalie Alexandar Georgiev’s backup Pavel Francouz was placed on injured reserve.
