JUST IN: A team that never trailed a series en route to the 2022 Stanley Cup now finds itself swimming against the current in the first round.
Finally greeted by the stakes they’ve longed to have back since the mundanity of regular-season hockey set in six months ago, and matched with the proverbial happy-to-be-here opponent, the Avs played with their seafood.
The Seattle Kraken proved to be more than plucky Tuesday night at Ball Arena, stealing Game 1 of the playoffs 3-1 from the Avalanche. It completed an underdog sweep to ring in the playoffs: All four higher-seeded teams in the Western Conference lost Game 1 at home. Mikko Rantanen scored on a Nathan MacKinnon assist and Cale Makar buzzed in his return to the lineup after missing seven games. Other than that, Colorado got little help lower in the lineup against a Seattle squad that lives and dies on depth.
