Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty ImagesThe Colorado Avalanche come into St. Louis and sweep away the St. Louis Blues in the first round by winning 5-2 Sunday afternoon. The big line showed up to play today, with Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and Gabriel Landeskog all getting on the score sheet.
The Avs fly out of the first round leaving the Blues heading to the golf course for the summer, and looking to do the same against either the Vegas Golden Knights or Minnesota Wild in the second round starting as early as later this week.
1st Period
The first period was very similar to Friday night’s first period. Both teams started by feeling one another out, matching each other’s moves.
