EDGE Analysis

Toews gave the Avalanche a 2-0 lead just 22 seconds after Nathan MacKinnon opened the scoring early in the first period. This tally snapped an eight-game goal drought for Toews, who missed five of the Avalanche's last seven games due to an undisclosed injury and rest. The defenseman had a fantastic year with 57 points in 66 outings, and he'll continue to log top-four minutes in the playoffs.
