20/21 Season Game 59 Vegas Golden Knights @ Colorado Avalanche
Colorado took the ice against Vegas looking to bounce back from the blowout loss at the hands of the Blues. Colorado played much better this time around, able to control puck possession throughout the game. They enjoyed the majority of the chances in the first period but couldn't find a way past standout goalie Robin Lehner. They kept up the pressure to start the second, and just over halfway through the middle frame they got the breakthrough they were looking for when Nazem Kadri one timed a Galchenyuk pass on the power play. Just four minutes later they got some breathing room as Martin Kaut sniped past Lehner short side after receiving a nice stretch pass from Makar. Early in the third they really put the game out of reach as MacKinnon stickhandled past a couple Golden Knights players and found Galchenyuk who fired home to put the Avs up by three. The Avs found themselves in penalty trouble often throughout the third, but the PK unit played a strong game and even added a late shorthanded goal off the stick of Nichushkin that ended Lehner's night. Francouz was able to stop all 19 shots he faced to earn the shutout and a start against Winnipeg on Saturday.
