Avalanche Kill Coyotes

Phoenix
Coytotes

"It was not a typical goal for me," said Forsberg, who missed Game One with a bad shoulder. "It was a lucky goal, but I'll take it."

Phoenix took a 1-0 lead in the second period when Jeremy Roenick beat Patrick Roy with a slapshot. Sandis Ozolinsh tied the game with less than two minutes left in the period.

"Ozo's was a huge goal," Avalanche captain Joe Sakic said. "That was the turning point for us."

Phoenix franchise has lost ten straight playoff series. Last time they won a series was 1987.

"You're reaching for things at this point to say," Phoenix coach Bobby Francis said. "We put it all on the table. There's nothing that we can say that can help us feel better. What can you say? We got beat by a better team."
