Lars Eller's strong play, Nathan MacKinnon's two highlight reel goals, and Cale Makar's dominant possession numbers led the Avalanche to a victory over the Kraken in Game 3.

The Avalanche penalty kill was also strong, holding the Kraken in check and even scoring a shorthanded goal. The situation with Nichushkin leaving the team is unclear, but Andrew Cogliano's return was a positive for the team.
