Daniel Briere has been known as a clutch performer in his career, typically rising to the occasion in the postseason at dramatic moments.The third game of the season is not quite the playoffs, but for an Avalanche team on the road that came into the day looking for both their first goal and their first win, this is a big one.
That was Briere's 300th career goal, too. It technically came with 0.4 seconds on the clock after review, but that ensuing faceoff obviously didn't mean much. The Avalanche got the 2-1 victory.
