Samuel Girard scored on a breakaway in overtime Monday night to help the Colorado Avalanche hold off the Nashville Predators in a 3-2 win at Ball Arena. Girard took the puck from a stumbling Brady Skjei, drew a penalty and skated in to score anyway, giving the Avs their second straight victory and getting them back to .500 on the season (8-8). Alexandar Georgiev made 29 saves in another strong outing for the Avs.
