The score is tied at zero in the Mile High City at the halfway point in the second period. Dougie Hamilton snaps a pass into the neutral zone to Andrei Svechnikov and instinctively skates up ice to join the rush. As Svechnikov is taken down just over the red line, Justin Williams reclaims the loose puck and taps it over to Hamilton as he enters the offensive zone.
At this point, Carl Soderberg is hung out with a poor gap on Hamilton as he carries the puck into the high slot with Jordan Staal streaking towards the back door.
