The Game
The theme of the first period was low-event and tight defensive hockey, which led to a scoreless period that saw just five shots from each side. Mikko Rantanen broke the scoreless tie when Coyote netminder Connor Ingram left his net to play the puck at the end of an Avalanche powerplay and lost track of the puck, allowing Mikko Rantanen to tuck it in before he could get back to the net.
