But it could\u2019ve been six, had it not been for Cale Makar\u2019s third-period tally that ended up getting taken off the board.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradohockeynow.com\/2026\/01\/19\/mackinnon-dominates-helps-avalanche-crush-capitals-at-ball-arena\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MacKinnon Dominates, Helps Avalanche Crush Capitals at Ball Arena<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Makar came down from the blueline and received a pass from MacKinnon and fired it past goalie Charlie Lindgren with Martin Necas standing above the crease.<\/p>\n<p>Necas didn\u2019t make any contact with Lindgren. But the goalie\u2019s stick was out of position, and he couldn\u2019t move from right to left without his stick interfering with Necas. Rather than try, Lindgren ditched his stick and lost his glove in the process, but was beaten clean by Makar.<\/p>\n<p>The Capitals called timeout to get a longer look. They eventually decided to challenge the goal, and the review, surprisingly didn\u2019t last long.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Makar didn\u2019t hold back postgame. He couldn\u2019t believe the goal was overturned.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/paypalme\/colhockeynow\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/CHNS-Tip-Jar.png\" alt=\"Contribute to CHN's travel and support local journalism!\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Somewhere in the middle of a masterclass third-period defensive effort and a dominant performance from superstar center Nathan&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":417563,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5116],"tags":[193,1116,192,144,5277,58,5,1117,513,517,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-417562","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-colorado-avalanche","8":"tag-avalanche","9":"tag-cale-makar","10":"tag-colorado","11":"tag-colorado-avalanche","12":"tag-coloradoavalanche","13":"tag-featured","14":"tag-hockey","15":"tag-jared-bednar","16":"tag-martin-necas","17":"tag-nathan-mackinnon","18":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115926628802834134","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417562"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417562\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
