The Avalanche’s bench argued the call. Head coach Jared Bednar was visibly angry while arguing with the refs. Several of Colorado’s top players also had conversations with the officials. Eventually, Bednar challenged for goalie interference but was unsuccessful.
Mackenzie Blackwood came in and instantly had to kill a penalty.
