Canadiens vs. Avalanche Top Six Minutes: Snowed Under

The crown seemed to enjoy that anthem, so let’s see if that extends to the start of this game.

First period

  • It’s an energetic start, but the Colorado Avalanche get on the board first, a shot from Logan O’Connor beats Jake Allen.
  • Minutes later, Bowen Byram simply shrugs off Kaiden Guhle and pulls the puck around the goaltender for a second goal.
  • It’s nearly a 3-0 as Nathan MacKinnon gets in on a breakaway, but he shoots high and wide.
  • Matt Nieto doesn’t miss on his open look. It’s 3-0 in what has to be the worst start of the 2022-23 season, and that is saying quite a bit.
