Colorado badly needs to get something going here, its one-way traffic at the moment. Heres the 3rd line for Colorado on a 3-on-2, Coitus-Wagg draws the defender out of position but cracks a shot over the boards......... Heres Archer with a chance! But he puts it over and Carolina get men back in the defensive zone as Colorado's forced to reset.......

-

Faceoff in the Colorado zone 3 and a half minutes in, Gold wins it, over the Ruschkoff now..... Carolina moving it from point to point here, Ricky Bobby has it, he winds up and fires........
