The Colorado Avalanche exploded, if a thing of snow and ice can be said to explode. How else to explain the team’s 9-4 beat-down of the Nashville Predators?
And it came about largely because of the explosion of six goals in the second period, all coming in an eight-minute span. That’s a franchise record, by the way. It’s also the first time in franchise history that Nashville has allowed nine goals in a game.
The game looked to be a tight one. The Avs took an early lead on Cale Makar‘s goal, which came just 49 seconds into the game.
