The Avalanche are on their way to the second round of the NHL playoffs after beating the Nashville Preds 5-3 Monday night in Nashville to complete the opening-round sweep. 🧹💨
André Burakovsky started off the game with a rocket through the goal — literally ripping a hole through the net. Cale Makar scored in the second period with an assist by J.T. Compher.
It was a tense game the whole night, with the lead changing several times. Before tonight, the series saw only one close game – a 2-1 overtime victory for the Avalanche in Game 2 of the series marked by stellar goaltender play for both teams, including from backup Predators goalie Connor Ingram. And though goaltender Darcy Kemper left Game 3 after getting poked in the eye with a stick, backup Pavel Francouz stopped 18 of 20 shots to finish out the Game 3 win.
In the first three games of the series, MacKinnon had four goals and an assist; Mikko Rantanen had five assists, and Toews had two goals and two assists.
