Tonight from Pepsi Center, the home standing Colorado Avalanche look to push top-seeded Calgary to the brink of elimination.
After rallying from a 1-0 series deficit, the West’s #2 wild card Avalanche hold an improbable 2-1 lead in their best-of-seven Quarterfinal opposite the Calgary Flames.
Calgary Flames
If game two was a slip, game three was a monumental collapse for Calgary’s momentum in these 2019 NHL playoffs. Outscored 3-0 in period one Wednesday night, the Flames never recovered while losing 6-2 vs. unheralded Colorado.
Calgary’s defensive line broke down once more, allowing 56 shots on overwhelmed backstop Mike Smith. Smith recorded 50 saves, but couldn’t conjure solo heroics as six pucks reached his net.

Now, trailing 2-1 on the road, the Flames have gone from simply overconfident to perhaps simply outclassed vs. battle-tested Colorado.
Tonight, Calgary finds itself in a must-win.
Colorado Avalanche
Over four days and in two uplifting performances Colorado’s solved its Calgary issue. However, the Avalanche cannot take game four lightly. Sporting an impact rookie signing, and rostering All Star veterans, however, Jared Bednar’s plucky group shouldn’t have that dillema.
Game three saw 20-year-old Cale Makar introduce himself on the NHL’s biggest stage. Makar added a goal in his very first professional attempt to punctuate Colorado’s rubber match blowout.

And Nathan MacKinnon added two goals and one assist as Matt Nieto, Mikko Rantanen and Erik Johnson each lit the lamp once for the Avs.
Patrick Grubauer had another solid outing while stopping 27 Calgary shots.
