The Colorado Avalanche needed to be perfect for 13 minutes away from advancing to the 2nd round of the playoffs.
That was until an old friend turned out the lights.
Mikko Rantanen had his second four-point period in the series, scoring a hat-trick and an assist on the go-ahead goal to cap off one of the biggest implosions in Colorado franchise history. It was a common theme throughout the series for the Avalanche — coughing up third-period leads. This time, they weren't able to recover. They went into the final frame up 1-0, added to that lead early, but ended up down by two.
