The Colorado Avalanche got back into it, tying the Tampa Bay Lightning at 1-1 to start the second period.

Bolts head coach Jon Cooper was not happy about the goal, coming on a delayed penalty against Tampa.

Nathan MacKinnon and the Avs made quick work of the extra man, scoring at 1:54 into the second period. It was MacK’s postseason-leading 13th goal. It was assisted by Gabriel Landeskog and Bowen Byram.
