Eagles are trying to play some shut down hockey in the 3rd while they are up 3-1 2nd #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado
2nd period impressions: Eagles shut down the Canucks in the period not allowing nearly as many chances. Eagles allowed only 10 SOG to 20 in the 1st. Carrying the puck has helped. Eagles are 22-2-1 when leading after the 2nd #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado

1st period impressions: Eagles are up 2-0 after Middleton and Foudy goals. They are having issues getting the puck out of the zone and can't carry the puck out. Concentrate on carrying the puck out not flipping it out #Avs #GoAvsGo #EaglesCountry @TheRinkColorado

MacKinnon. 4-1 #Avs
1st period impressions: #Avs were able to answer back right away to gain the lead. They need to minimize the turnovers in the Dzone, especially on the half-boards that lead to scoring chances for Dal. #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/cJqwUnOrbE
