DENVER — Life comes at you fast. As in, 48 seconds fast.
Things originally didn't look good for the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night in their Game 2 win over the Seattle Kraken, 3-2. Colorado had been dominated for four consecutive periods to begin the postseason and faced a 2-0 deficit to the NHL's newest team.
Then the momentum swing happened.
The Avs finally struck back when Artturi Lehkonen found the back of the net. Less than a minute later (48 seconds, to be exact) Valeri Nichushkin followed suit to send the Ball Arena crowd into a lower downtown party.
Needing to secure a victory to avoids going into a 2-0 series hole, Devon Toews delivered to give the Avalanche their first lead of the playoff series, and most importantly, the victory.
Colorado evens up the best-of-seven series and one game apiece as the teams shift to Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, beginning with Game 3 at 8 p.m. (MT) on Saturday night.
