Sam Reinhart was inches away from a hat trick off of an Evan Rodrigues rebound. Just missed the net.
Here was Connor Bedard slamming his stick along his bench after hitting the post on the power play. He’s been so close. #Blackhawks https://t.co/OVT4ZDDjMs
Sam Reinhart, owner of Florida’s power play goal title the last two years, now has both of the Panthers’ first power play goals of the year. He deflects an Oliver Ekman-Larsson shot past Vanecek to make it a 4-0 game 59 seconds into the third.
MacKenzie Entwistle scores in his first game of the season. #Blackhawks https://t.co/NVzP76Wtzz
Entwistle's the play down with a goal. 1-0 CHI.
GOAL, Blackhawks. 1-0 lead. Entwistle buries the feed from Athanasiou.
Ooof. 1-0 Panthers. Sam Reinhart may have tipped that Rodrigues shot.

The #Avs shot the puck 111 times last night. For about 58 minutes, it was looking like a good process bad result kind of night. But, as Cale Makar put it, they kept banging on the door and eventually it opened. And they’re 2-0. https://t.co/75VehrtajH

Shootout time!!!!! #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Now the Avs get 31.7 seconds of PP time #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
The Avs PK is off to a dynamite start this season.
MacKinnon unintentionally runs into a Shark and hit with kneeing, Avs to the PK #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
We have our first OT of the season #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado https://t.co/06xCliIwWK
On Colorado's 50th shot, the Avalanche finally beat Mackenzie Blackwood. 1-1 game. Shots 50-20, attempts are 106-49
Cale Makar, wow. I honestly didn't think they'd do it. But the #Avs tie this baby up late
We're off to OT.
Makar finally breaks through with the extra attacker on the ice to tie the game and 1:26 left #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Cale Makar finally finds a hole behind Mackenzie Blackwood with 1:26 remaining in regulation. It was the 50th shot on goal and the 104th shot attempt of the night. Tale as old as time in hockey. If at first you don't succeed, just try 103 more times.
Now 1:26 remaining in the third period. Blackwood has 49 saves but I don't think he saw that one.
And on the 50th shot, Blackwood finally gave in. But what a performance. Avs up 50-20 shots
And on the 50th #Avs shot of the game, Cale Makar beats Mackenzie Blackwood. He shot through traffic to score with 1:26 left. 1-1
Cale Makar, snap shot from the high slot, 1-1.
Blackwood gets a thunderous round of applause from #SJSharks fans…this has not been a goalie norm at SAP Center in recent years https://t.co/sZDZf4IAr3
Mackenzie Blackwood just made an unreal save on Cale Makar. Slid across his crease to rob him. He's up to 42 saves, and that might've been his best. Crowd goes nuts when the jumbotron shows him during a stoppage.
Rousing ovation for Blackwood during the TV timeout at the Shark Tank. He's made 42 saves in 50:46 of action in his San Jose debut. Jonathan Drouin also got hit in the face on that shift and went straight to the bench.
Blackwood with a brilliant save on Makar.
Toews gets nailed with a hold attempting to stop a breakaway by the Sharks #Avs #GoAvsGo @TheRinkColorado
Might not be the #Avs night. Artturi Lehkonen just blasted a puck past Blackwood but right off the post. 34 shots, no goals.
This is actually Mackenzie Blackwood's 1st career start at SAP Center. He's putting on a show so far!
Mackenzie Blackwood's career high in saves is 52. He's got 33 with 18 minutes left in the third period. I wouldn't be surprised if he approached his own record. #SJSharks
