The Colorado Avalanche walked into the Shark Tank and played one good period before getting out-classed by the San Jose Sharks enroute to a 5-2 loss in game one of the Western Conference Semifinals. Brent Burns led the Sharks from the back, producing a four-point night (1g, 3a) in the win.
Rookie Cale Makar showed that a lot of his potential and promise has developed into its final stages with a one-assist and two-shot night, but it wasn’t enough to help push the Avs to score more than two goals.
