Jared Bednar, coach of the Colorado Avalanche, expressed dissatisfaction following his team's 3-2 overtime victory against the New York Rangers, calling the performance 'unimpressive.' Despite the win marking their 14th comeback of the season, Bednar lamented the lack of collective effort, stating that only half the team seemed engaged. He credited goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood for his stellar play, making 27 saves and keeping the game close despite numerous scoring chances against.

Bednar highlighted Blackwood's reliability since joining the team, noting his impressive record since the trade. Devon Toews scored the game-winning goal in overtime, with critical assists from Logan O’Connor and Nathan MacKinnon. The coach also praised the penalty-kill unit for their resilience in a challenging moment. However, he voiced concerns about the over-reliance on a small number of players, expressing frustration with the overall team effort.
