The Rundown
Things looked bad early, as the Avalanche scored twice on consecutive TJ Brodie shifts. 11 seconds in, Sean Monahan couldn’t complete a clearing pass. Mikko Rantanen stole it, shot it at David Rittich, and Nathan MacKinnon beat Brodie to the loose rebound to make it 1-0. A couple minutes later Brodie whiffed on a bouncing clearing pass, allowing JT Compher to go top shelf with the puck to go up 2-0.
