Analysis
Leafs came out strong in this one with Kasperi Kapanen scoring his 17th of the season and looked to control the pace of the game but then the Avalanche took momentum to the dressing room when Ryan Graves tallied his 3rd of the season to tie it at one a piece.

Keep controlling the pace and playing your game.
