Mammoth's Vitek Vanecek: Tagged with loss Tuesday

Vanecek stopped 25 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Avalanche.

Vanacek was beaten by Samuel Girard's backhander in the second period, but that was enough to tag him with the loss despite his season-best .926 save percentage. Vanecek has lost each of his last eight starts, going 0-7-1 with a 3.13 GAA and an .870 save percentage in that span.
