survived a frenzied rally attempt from the Colorado Avalanche to earn a 3-2 victory in Game 5 and take a 3-2 series lead.
The Avalanche offense lacked punch throughout the night with top defenseman Cale Makar suspended for his hit that injured McCann in Game 4. Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and J.T. Compher all played greater than 23 minutes as the absences in the Colorado lineup took their toll. It took just 80 seconds for the Avalanche to answer. Grubauer misplayed a puck behind the Seattle net as he attempted to rim the puck up the boards was halted by Rantanen. Rantanen's quick shot deflected off Grubauer and a crashing MacKinnon into the net to level the score at 1-1.
Kartye, 21, played in 72 games with the Firebirds this season with 57 points on 28 goals and 29 assists. However, Kartye's production has soared in the second half of the season in the AHL. Over his final 36 games with Coachella Valley , Kartye racked up 40 of his points with 23 goals and 17 assists.
