Avalanche Unleash Relentless Fury to Crush Islanders’ Hopes in Stunning 4–1 Thriller

With 8:30 left in regulation, both teams had 23 shots on net. And although the Avalanche held a slim lead, it felt like anything could change at any moment, whether at the hands of a Colorado goal, or an equalizing shot from the Islanders.
After a series of back-and-forth action, Makar got his hands on the puck and rushed into the Islanders zone and fired a quick shot at Sorokin, but it was turned aside.
The Avalanche had to dig deep in the closing minutes, but ultimately they poured it on against the Islanders. Nečas was whistled for delay of game after sending the puck over the glass, and with roughly 1:40 remaining, New York pulled Ilya Sorokin for the extra attacker, creating a 6-on-4 advantage. Horvat teed up a one-timer from the right circle, but Wedgewood stood tall yet again with another clutch save.
