Avalanche Shutout Oilers In Western Finals Game 2, Final 4-0 As Series Goes To Canada For Game 3
In Period 1 Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals Game 2 would remain scoreless. The Edmonton Oilers would have some great opportunities, while the Colorado Avalanche would have several Powerplay chances, 3 to be exact, but none would result in a score.
Period 2 we'd see a change in momentum. The Avalanche would find a goal, from Lehkonen at 3:58. That spark would change this game in their favor. Just 15 seconds later at 4:13, Manson would score for the Avalanche again. Then, at 6:02, Rananen would score a third goal in this period for the Avalanche. This period started at 0-0, but ended with a 3-0 home ice lead for the Avalanche.
At 15:20 into Period 3, MacKinnon would add another to the Avalanche total, making it 4-0. This period was mostly run by the Avalanche too, giving the Oilers barely any chance at a comeback. They played their game and did so well, with a winning and shutout outcome.
The good news for the Edmonton Oilers is that Games 3 and 4 will be in their home arena, with their fans. That might help, but at this point it has to if the Oilers want to make this a series. The Colorado Avalanche now have a 2-0 game lead as they pack for Canada. It's fight or good night come Game 3, which you can watch on TNT at 8:00 PM EST.
