DENVER — Alexander Kerfoot didn't know exactly what to expect.
The 23-year-old Avalanche center from Vancouver played in high-stakes games throughout his time as an amateur, including at Harvard, but never on the grand stage of the Stanley Cup playoffs. And, entering the Nashville series, he wasn't alone.
"Not a lot of us have played much in the playoffs before," Kerfoot said.
In all, nine Avalanche players made their NHL postseason debut through two losses at Nashville. The forwards are Sven Andrighetto, J.T. Compher, Tyson Jost, Mikko Rantanen and Kerfoot.
