Avalanche blaze past Knights 7-1 in penalty-filled Game 1

Associated Press  

DENVER — The book on Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche: They’re extremely speedy. MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog each scored twice and the well-rested Avalanche made quick work of Vegas with their speed, beating the Golden Knights 7-1 on Sunday night in a skirmish-filled Game 1 of their second-round playoff series. There were a total of 74 penalty minutes between the teams, including four 10-minute misconduct calls in the third period and a match penalty on Vegas’ Ryan Reaves for attempting to injure an opponent. “It might happen in the next game, but we’ll be ready for it.” Vegas drew 44 penalty minutes and Colorado 30. “It’s going to be a heck of a matchup and a heck of a series, that’s for sure,” Vegas forward Alex Tuch said.
