The Colorado Avalanche take a commanding two games to none series lead over the Vegas Golden Knights, despite putting in a performance to forget. Phillip Grubauer was incredible, stopping 39 of 41 shots as Mikko Rantanen iced the game in overtime with a power play goal into the top netting.
The Avalanche were uncharacteristically error prone this evening; having eight giveaways and allowing multiple one on one chances for Vegas. Thankfully Grubauer was up to the task and stole a critical matchup before the series shifts to the desert.
