Iker Casillas: 'Seguimos siendo mejores que Barcelona en los pasillos'
The NHL Playoffs Game One between the Wild and Avalanche featured intense action, highlighted by a significant hit on Cale Makar. Colorado took the lead with a goal from Sam Malinski in the first period.
The start of the game was fierce, technical, and exciting throughout. However, some of that excitement took a scary turn when Minnesota forward Marcus Foligno rocked Cale Makar with a massive hit and Makar went immediately down the tunnel.
The Avalanche killed off a holding penalty issued to Nazem Kadri just past the halfway point as both teams had four shots on net.
Colorado turned the frown upside down with 8:48 to go when Martin Necas carried the puck into the attacking zone, surveyed the ice, and found Sam Malinski from the right circle and Malinski sniped one by Jesper Wallstedt to give Colorado a 1-0 lead.
Less than a minute later, Jack Drury scored off a rebound to double the lead. Then on the next sequence, Wild defenseman Brock Faber cross-checked Gabe Landeskog after a whistle and the Avalanche captain responded with fists, landing a series of punches on Faber. Both men were penalized for roughing. However, Faber was issued an additional minor for cross-checking, thus giving Colorado a power play.
The Colorado Avalanche led 1-0 against the Minnesota Wild after the first period.
Cale Makar was injured after a massive hit from Marcus Foligno and went down the tunnel for evaluation.

Just over a minute later, Quinn Hughes found Ryan Hartman all alone right in front of Wedgewood's grill and he batted a rebound by Wedgewood with little resistance to make it a 3-2 game.
