Once again, the Colorado Avalanche are on the board first.

The Landeskog goal was actually the second puck of the first period that found the back of the Tampa Bay net. The Avs had their first “goal” called off by a very close offside after a Tampa Bay challenge.

The Lightning have since tied Game 1 up 1-1, and it’s now late in the first period.
