2nd period impressions: #Avs have spread out the shots a little, but both goals came down low. The defense tightened up and there were far fewer chances for the Bruins. Move the puck more in the offensive zone and get Swayman moving. #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/9e4oYFYEEw
With the lead through two. https://t.co/iJvbhV8rpU
#Avs have been simmering a bit in this period, were just about up to cookin' levels ... then Josh Manson took an interference penalty with 1:45 left. Would be huge to get to the break only down 3-2.
Bruins head to the power play with 1:45 left in the second. Manson commits interference on Zacha.
MacKinnon goes down and gets dirty to jump on the rebound in front of Swayman and the Avs are only down by one, Makar and Manson with the assists #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
