Something about those pesky Arizona Coyotes.
Despite their peskiness, the Colorado Avalanche managed to pull through. A 3-1 final would just be enough with involvement in all three goals from Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar.
With the win, the Avs sit on 90 points, still in third in the Central Division, one point behind the Minnesota Wild and two behind the Dallas Stars. It’s getting really close at the top, but there's only room for one. Who will get it in the end?
First Period
Colorado was on the front foot early with MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen having an early 2-on-1 broken up.
