Well that didn’t take long.
The Avalanche struck first on Sunday, scoring on a goal by forward Brandon Saad just 1:50 into the first period against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Saad knocked in a rebound past Vegas goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury off of a slap shot from J.T. Compher for the score. Andre Burakovsky was also credited with an assist.
The goal gave Colorado a 1-0 lead, but Vegas would tie it up at the 7:07 mark on a goal by Jonathan Marchessault.
