For the second straight playoff series, the Colorado Avalanche find themselves trailing after game one. The San Jose Sharks took an early series lead with a 5-2 win at home Friday night. Colorado jumped out to an early lead and dominated the first half of the game, but the veteran Sharks weathered the storm before taking control of the game in the latter stages of the second period.
The team has no reason to panic as they were able to reel off four straight wins after dropping the first game against the Calgary Flames.
