Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final started great for Colorado with Gabriel Landeskog scoring just seven-plus minutes into the game. Colorado quickly added on to that, scoring twice in the game’s first 10 minutes.

Helpers came from Bowen Byram and Mikko Rantanen.

Valeri Nichushkin then scored less than two minutes later, Nathan MacKinnon helped on the goal.

The Avs lead Game 1 2-1 over the Tampa Bay Lightning, with the Bolts scoring a few minutes after Colorado’s second.
