1st period

Fairly wide open game early, lots of shots and chances at both ends. 9 minutes into the game comes the first impactful moment, Rasmus Ristolainen hits Jake Guentzel way late, to the head and causes big time damage. For the first time in a long time, the refs on the ice assess a correct call on a play like this: 5 minute for interference, game misconduct.
