Just 22 seconds after Colorado made the goalie change, Malinski cut it to 6-3 with a wrist shot from the blue line that caromed off the left leg of Zeev Buium and behind Lankinen at 5:43 of the second period.

Marcus Pettersson regained the 7-6 lead just 23 seconds later at 14:21 with a one-time from the top of the left circle that went short side past the right skate blade of Wedgewood. Boeser fed him from below the red line for the shot.<\/p>\n
Boeser completed his hat trick with an empty-net goal from his left half-wall at 18:31 for the 8-6 final.<\/p>\n
Sasson scored to make it 1-0 Vancouver at 29 seconds into the first period, going five-hole with a snap shot from the bottom of the left circle. Sasson, who was a healthy scratch the previous two games, took a pass from Filip Hronek off the right wall that went around Josh Manson before skating in alone for the play.<\/p>\n
MacKinnon tied it 1-1 at 1:22 of the first with a wrist shot from high in the zone that went short side past the blocker. MacKinnon did a hard stop on left wall, curled back up high, and cut across the middle of the ice before shooting through traffic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The NHL goals leader reached 50 for the second time in his career.<\/p>\n
Blueger scored to make it 2-1 with a short-handed goal at 5:21 of the period. Liam Ohgren won a puck battle with MacKinnon, skated in on a 2-on-1, and fed Blueger a crossing pass for the wrist shot that went short side past the glove.<\/p>\n
DeBrusk pushed it to 3-1 with a power-play goal at 11:38. He redirected Elias Pettersson\u2019s cross-crease pass past the right leg of Blackwood at the left side of the crease.<\/p>\n
Landeskog cut it to 3-2 at 16:05 after he deflected Brent Burns\u2019 point shot far side off the arm of Lankinen. Burns fired a wrist shot from inside the blue line at the left wall and Landeskog tipped it through traffic from the left circle hash.<\/p>\n
Blueger scored his second to make it 4-2 at 5:02 of the second period. He took a centering pass from Sasson all alone in the slot, fake cutting left on the backhand, and tucked his wrist shot five-hole.<\/p>\n
