Colorado Avalanche: Top 6 Ugly Goals of 2014-15

#6: John Mitchell vs the New Jersey Devils

Center John Mitchell scored on New Jersey Devils goalie Cory Schneider. It’s always nice when a player scores a game-tying goal — after all, your team had been down until then.

The Avalanche went on to win this one-goal game 3-2.
