An NHL fan went all out Tuesday night to create an epic hockey moment in the third period of a game between the Colorado Avalanche and Anaheim Ducks.
A puck that was supposed to go across the ice at Denver’s Ball Arena flew off the ice and into the stands near the neutral zone. A fan caught the puck, found the broadcast camera and began drinking a beer to the delight of the home crowd.

Colorado led by one goal at the time, but scored two more after the fan got the crowd going. Martin Necas and Parker Kelly added the insurance goals to give the Avalanche a 4-1 victory.
It wasn’t clear if the extra buzz gave the Avalanche the extra push they needed to win the game, but they’ll take it.

Gabriel Landeskog scored his first goal of the season and first regular season goal in more than three years. The left back missed the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, as well as the 2024-25 regular season after undergoing a series of knee surgeries.
The crowd erupted when he scored the second half goal.
Anaheim got its only goal from Leo Carlsson, his 11th of the season.
The Avalanche snapped the Ducks’ seven-game winning streak. They improved to 16-1-2 in their last 19 meetings against the Ducks.
