Avalanche Unleash Relentless Fury to Crush Islanders’ Hopes in Stunning 4–1 Thriller
Colorado kicked off the final period with 1:07 to kill on Makar’s penalty. Horvat snapped a shot from the left circle and Wedgewood came up with a scintillating glove save. The Avs killed the penalty, but Kyle Palmieri still found a way to get his hands on the puck and penetrated the Avs defensive zone, but Wedgewood again came up with a solid save.
As expected, the third period was intense. Mayfield attempted to bully the smaller Brindley, but Brindley responded by cross-checking him in the face, which the officials ruled a high-sticking penalty. Then, Brent Burns threw Heineman down to the ice like a sack of potatoes, which caused Anders Lee to go down as a result. Lee wasn’t done as he dropped the gloves with Josh Manson, only to get taken down with a sharp right uppercut just seconds in. Both men were given five-minute majors and Calum Ritchie was also slapped with a two-minute roughing penalty.
