Minnesota got out to a 3-0 lead less than 25 minutes into the game and never looked back, with Jesper Wallstedt stopping 34 of the 35 shots the Avalanche sent his way. Nathan MacKinnon was the lone goal scorer for Colorado, which should not have been a surprise to anyone who watched the game. The Avalanche struggled to get any offense when he was not on the ice, which led to Jared Bednar switching up his lines multiple times throughout the night. “What we were doing wasn’t working,” Bednar said of the changes. “I felt like tonight, if the MacKinnon line wasn’t on the ice, we weren’t getting anything.” And those changes ultimately didn’t alter the course of this game.
