The Avalanche showcased the importance of their playoff experience in game three, as they remained calm in a frenzied atmosphere at the Climate Pledge Arena. Despite blowing their first period advantage, they ended the quicker of the two sides by netting three times in an action-packed third period.

The three goals that they scored ensured that they recorded a 6-4 win on the road, and a second straight success on the road on Monday could put them within a victory of reaching the next round. Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon were excellent over the weekend, as both stars scored twice in the success against the Kraken.
