GAME STORY: The commitment to its “next-man-up” philosophy helped the Avalanche get within a victory of advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals here Saturday night. via MikeChambers
J.T. Compher replaced the injured Nazem Kadri as Colorado’s second-line center and came through with the most important goal of Game 3 against Edmonton in the Western Conference Finals at Rogers Place.
Colorado improved to 6-0 on the road in the playoffs, the first team since the 2011 Kings to win its first six road playoff games. Game 4 of the best-of-seven series is Monday night. An Avs victory will send them to their first Stanley Cup Final since last winning it all in 2002. Compher’s big goal was his fifth in his last five games after he failed to score in his first nine games of the postseason. And it came a minute after goalie Pavel Francouz stoned Edmonton superstar center Connor McDavid with a diving glove save on the power play.
“I definitely did not like the hit,” Avs captain Gabe Landeskog. “It doesn’t look good and those are the scary ones you never like to see.”
