"Colorado Avalanche face gut-check time without top defenseman in Game Five against Seattle Kraken"

The Colorado Avalanche and Seattle Kraken are tied 2-2 in their NHL playoff series, with the Avs playing far from their best hockey against Seattle. They will need to put on their best performance of the playoffs without multiple key players, including Cale Makar who was suspended for Game 5 over his late hit that injured Seattle’s leading goal-scorer Jared McCann. The Avs hope to avoid a repeat of their notorious Vegas series in the 2020-21 season, but it will be an especially difficult task when their two most physical forwards are out of the lineup. Seattle dominated the Avs at 5-on-5 in Game 4, earning 78 percent of the expected goals in the first period, 81 percent in the second, and 64 percent in the third period.
