The 25-year-old Russian was closing in on his 13th straight perfect period when the Avs finally scored.
He had stopped 99 straight shots dating to the Ducks' Game 7 win at Calgary in the Western Conference quarterfinals before Andrew Brunette got control of the puck behind the net and with one arm slid it to the left side of the crease to Hinote.
The Avs, who didn't get off a single shot in a 5-on-3 advantage that lasted more than a minute, acted as though they'd won another overtime game. It was, after all, their first goal since April 30.
The celebration was short-lived, however, as Lupul tied it at 9:02 of the second period with a slap shot after the Ducks controlled the puck in the Colorado zone for more than a minute, even managing a line change during that time.
Brendan Shanahan scored on the power play early in the third period and gave Canada a 2-1 win over the US on Tuesday night, sending it to the second round of ice hockey's World Championship with a third straight victory.
It was the first loss for the Americans, who beat Norway and Denmark earlier in the preliminary round.
In Group A, veteran defenseman Petteri Nummelin scored from the point with 1:12 remaining to salvage a 3-3 tie for unbeaten Finland against the Czech Republic. Both teams had secured second-round spots earlier.
Lativa was the third team to advance from the group, beating Slovenia 5-1 while Norway joined the Canadians and Americans in the second round from Group A with a 6-3 win over Denmark.
Shanahan scored at 7:44 of the period, 1:03 after Brooks Orpik was sent to the penalty box for kneeing, knocking in a rebound past American goalie Jason Bacashihua.
"We hit a lot of posts and had a lot of chances," Shanahan said. "As it turned out, we were playing catchup hockey and they played very patiently. We just didn't want to get into a game where we opened it up and took chances in order to get chances.
"This was a game that tested our team's patience and it was a good learning lesson for us about sticking with the game plan and getting the win."
The US had three power plays over the final 12 minutes, twice for interference penalties on Brad Stuart.
The Americans led at 13:53 in the opening period when 18-year-old Phil Kessel tapped in a rebound past Canadian goalie Alex Auld.
Sidney Crosby, the 18-year-old rookie with the Pittsburgh Penguins, tied it at 9:01 in the second period, backhanding the puck between Bacashihua's legs after a breakaway.
Earlier in the period, the US failed to capitalize on a two-man advantage. The Canadians twice failed on two-man advantages late in the session.
"I'd like to give credit to the 5-on-3 we killed before Crosby's goal," Shanahan said. "It could have given them a 2-0 lead."
