It's pretty common to fall off at the end of the regular season, all the teams who have no chance of moving up or down in their brackets (in order to gain home ice or face a more favorable contender) rest their top talent. The Avs last few games saw their fourth line promoted to first, and lines 2-4 populated with dudes who didn't see any I've time this year. No use in risking injury for games that literally don't matter.

Story of the third: Like the first period, remarkably balanced. Both teams attacking and both goalies making unreal saves. On to overtime!

Story of the second: The first 5 minutes was all Vegas, scoring a goal 40 seconds in. After that though, the Avalanche woke up and dominated, scoring 2 goals to tie the game. They held the Knights to 4 shots on goal while burning up 15 of their own.

Story of the first: A remarkably even period. The Avalanche power play still haven't found their stride, in fact Vegas' goal came on their penalty kill.

Story of the third period, Blues turtle up and give the Avs no light whatsoever. A valiant push at the end almost ties it, but the empty netter by Robert Thomas seals the Avs' fate.

Story of the second period, Blues continue to dominate, but seem to lose energy late and pay by giving up 2 goals.

Story of the first period, Blues scored on their power play, while the Avs have gone silent.
