Avalanche Hold Off Oilers With 8-Goal Flurry in Game 1 of West Finals (8-6)

An Avalanche of goals! Colorado tied an NHL record on Tuesday night with their third game of seven-plus goals this postseason, and there’s still a lot of playoff hockey to be played. The Avs poured it on against the Oilers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Eight different skaters scored, including a goal and two assists from Cale Makar. Colorado led 7-3 late in the 2nd period before a three-goal comeback by Edmonton, but it wasn’t enough. The Avs are 9-2 in the postseason with Game 2 of the West Finals set for Thursday.
