It would take an extra 1:23 of overtime to determine the outcome of Game 1 where Andre Burakovsky would win it for the Avs on home ice.

His team was up 3-1 before letting in two straight goals in 48 seconds, so the Avs will look to clean it up and be better for the full 60 minutes, if not more.

It’s looking likely that we’ll see Andrew Cogliano enter the lineup. He had been a full participant in practice and has a chance to be in the team for the first time in this series.

Meanwhile, Nazem Kadri may be available for Games 3 and 4 as he’s been lightly working with a stick.
