Mike Smith in net for Calgary Flames. Phillip Grubauer for Colorado Avalanche.
1st Period
Sean Monahan and Nathan MacKinnon face/off to start the game - Avs take possession before the whistle blows. The Flames come in hot with Hathaway-Mangiapane-Ryan crashing the net early. Hanafin getting a laser shot away from a Lindholm pass at 16:08 clock. On that same play Avs Ian Cole takes a cross-checking on Monahan.
Flames don’t score on the PP - Mikael Backlund hitting the post, Gaudreau’s shot deflected away by Grubauer, and Tkachuk not able to bat the rebound in.
