The Colorado Avalanche beat the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3 to come within one win of the Stanley Cup Final.

But if any team can do it, it's the one with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leading the charge. Only four teams have managed to come back from a 3-0 series deficit to move on in NHL history. On the Avalanche side, Jared Bednar's club will assuredly take the victory.

We talked about what the team needs to do differently tonight and more on The Sherwood Ford GIANT Pre Game Show! The Avalanche are a very good team but the Oilers definitely haven’t had their ‘A’ game in either of the first two games.

"I think we know that we have to check on the road first and foremost," said Avalanche forward J.T. Compher, who had two goals in an 8-6 victory in Game 1. … Kuemper is expected to miss his second game since he was injured in the second period in Game 1. We did a nice job in our building and our goal is to go and repeat or better the performance that we had from the other night. Yamamoto is expected to be out after he was injured in Game 2 following a hit from Landeskog in the first period. "From start to finish, I thought guys were really committed and we've been committed in most of our games, but that one … on top of that is we didn't make any major mistakes." "It's a huge game in the series. "We want to use our eyes and make decisions based on the real time information that our players are giving us. "Well, we don't want to be prisoner or beholden to something that was decided beforehand," Woodcroft said. Colorado's 4-0 victory in Game 2 put an end to McDavid's nine-game point streak (23 points; seven goals, 16 assists) in the playoffs. And we have to be prepared for that." Draisaitl also had a nine-game point streak (24 points; four goals, 20 assists) halted in Game 2. "They're a good team," Oilers captain Connor McDavid said.

Kadri, who had three assists for Colorado in Game 3, went straight to the locker room and didn't return. Only four NHL teams have ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a seven-game series. Edmonton came close to going back in front late in the period, but Francouz got a piece of a Kassian effort in tight before clearing a loose puck off his goal line. Following an offensive zone faceoff win, Toews' shot hit Nathan MacKinnon in front and fell kindly for Nichushkin, who buried his second of the night and fifth of the playoffs at 4:38. Edmonton got that power play in the third, with the Colorado netminder redeeming himself on a terrific McDavid opportunity and Bouchard hit the post seconds before Compher pushed the visitors in front for a second time on a terrific individual effort.

Come the third, it was much of the same. Three minutes later, J.T. Compher got rung up for tripping Leon Draisaitl, sending the Oilers to a powerplay where they could put the game away. The Oilers never let up. while the later left the game, the former was sent to the penalty box for five minutes. It was just the start the club needed. Colorado, meanwhile, was able to win the draw getting the jump when Nichushkin fired one home. Evander Kane caught Nazem Kadri with a crosscheck, sending the Avs forward hard into the boards. The Oilers now find themselves in the toughest spot imaginable: a 3-0 series deficit. Then, four and a bit minutes into the second, Nichushkin scored again. The Oilers killed that five minutes off. Like when Evander Kane took Nazem Kadri out of the game minutes in with a boarding that landed him in the box for five minutes. It didn’t help that on Nichushkin’s second, Duncan Keith drove early to the point while Evan Bouchard missed the goalscorer.

"The margin of error this time of year is extremely slim," Kane said. "He puts him in head-first from behind, eight feet from the boards. "The most dangerous play in hockey," Bednar said.

Colorado head coach Jared Bednar said his player will be out for at least the rest of the series. "We're going to make a couple of tweaks here and there.

“Val is a huge part of our team and our offensive game and our checking game and helps out in all areas of the game,” Landeskog said. It comes from everybody in the room — just a little bit more. Nichushkin scored on two fortunate deflections to give Colorado the lead. The Avalanche won titles in 1996 and 2001. “Frankie’s quick and got over there and made a great stop on it,” Colorado forward Nathan MacKinnon said. In Game 3, he made the big stop on McDavid to keep it tied before Compher scored.

J’étais sur le banc et j’ai vu ce qui s’est passé, je n’aime pas ça. C’est le genre de coup qui vous donne des frissons dans le dos.

Compher a profité de la générosité de Mike Smith, qui avait été excellent jusque là. Le tir de l’attaquant de l’Avalanche est passé entre les jambières du gardien. Edmonton a immédiatement dû défendre son avance, car Evander Kane a écopé d’une punition majeure pour avoir frappé durement Nazem Kadri dans le coin de la patinoire. Un tir d'Evan Bouchard a frappé le poteau, puis la rondelle est partie dans l'autre direction. Valeri Nishushkin a marqué deux buts dans la victoire.

Ce n'est quand même pas une raison pour abandonner sans un dernier sursaut. Pour gagner à ce temps-ci de l'année, ça prend l'effort maximal de chaque joueur dans ce vestiaire, et même plus. C'est difficile de nous retrouver dans cette position, mais nous ne sommes pas éliminés tant qu'ils n'en gagnent pas quatre. Nous devons trouver un moyen de marquer et de bien défendre aussi. Mis à part le festival offensif du premier match - une défaite de 8-6 - l'attaque dévastatrice menée par McDavid peine à générer des chances. Une autre défaite, une de 4-2 samedi, si bien qu'elle se retrouve maintenant au bord du gouffre.

« Il est blessé, a dit Bednar. La mise en échec ? C’est le type de plaquage le plus dangereux au hockey. L’entraîneur-chef de l’Avalanche, Jared Bednar, a confirmé que Kadri ratera le restant de la finale de l’Association Ouest, voire plus. Seulement 28 secondes après le filet du capitaine des Oilers, Evander Kane a donné une violente mise en échec à Nazem Kadri qui lui a valu une inconduite de partie. McDavid a marqué dans la première minute du match. À son premier départ, il a réalisé un blanchissage. Francouz a fait son entrée dans la série lors du premier match après que Darcy Kuemper a été victime d’une blessure au haut du corps.

Avalanche 4, Oilers 2 Edmonton Oilers gave what they had on Saturday night, but once again it wasn't enough to get the better of Colorado Avalanche.

Led the Oilers with 26:47 in ice time and 4 shots on goal, but for the second straight game struggled to find open ice . Put his team in a big hole when he was whistled for a 5-minute penalty for the above infraction vs. 3 shots on net with the Oilers controlling the flow of play during his minutes. But was one of the defensive culprits on the 2-1 when he lost a battle just inside Edmonton’s zone after a lost faceoff. The game-winner on the other hand was a shot that needed to be stopped and instead found the five-hole right along the ice. 2 shots on net including a good one after a terrific rush, but wasn’t able to create much off the pass. His 15:34 of ice time included 4:24 on the PK. Making a strong bid for a contract extension right here in his home town of Edmonton. But his game will be most remembered by the own-goal that tied the score 1-1 late in the first, as Nurse tried to cut off a slot pass only to have it carom past a flailing Smith and just inside the short side post. Provided both with 4 hits and 3:17 on the kill, nearly half of his total ice time of 6:40. Picked up 12 minutes in penalties in garbage time for a legit penalty and what appeared to be a somewhat bogus misconduct. Played a solid game in a middle 6 role, chipping in on 2 Grade A shots while allowing nothing the other way. A little lost at sea on the second Avs goal but hardly the major culprit on the play, though it was his careless icing off a clean possession that led to the d-zone faceoff in the first place. The Avalanche had a heavy advantage on the shot clock for the third straight game, this time 43-29 for a cumulative 130-90 through 3 games.

Oilers forward Evander Kane will face a hearing on Sunday from the NHL's Department of Player Safety for his hit from behind on Colorado centre Nazem Kadri.

The Oilers are down 3-0 in the series, with Kane "He's out — he'll be out for the series at least, if not longer. The hearing raises the possibility of him being suspended for Game 4 on Monday night.

They did precisely that, as Connor McDavid scored his ninth goal of the playoffs just 38 seconds into the game. Unfortunately, the air was let out of the ...

It could be one guy one night and a different guy the next. “You lose a guy of Naz’s stature and the role that he plays, someone has to step up, if not multiple guys,” said Bednar. “His role will be filled by committee. - As mentioned above, Nazem Kadri will miss the rest of the series and potentially more as he’s dealing with an upper-body injury. The key for the Oilers was to capitalize on the energy of their fans and get off to a hot start. It was a massive turn of events, one that the Oilers simply couldn’t bounce back from. He puts him in head-first from behind, eight feet from the boards. The hit, it’s the most dangerous play in hockey. Those are the ones that kind of give you the chills down your spine, and you’re taught from a young age that you don’t do that, and especially in that distance from the boards. Val Nichushkin tied the game late in the first and then put the Avs up 2-1 in the second. We’re going to make a couple of tweaks here and there. Ryan McLeod tied the game at 2-2 in the third period and the Oilers were given a golden chance to pull ahead when J.T. Compher took a tripping penalty. Major props to Edmonton’s penalty kill for fighting off seven minutes of power-play time for the lethal Avs, but the much-needed momentum from McDavid’s quick goal had been squashed mid-way through the first period because the Oilers had to focus on defending rather than pushing forward.

With Colorado leading 3-0 in the series, it can clinch a spot in the Stanley Cup Finals with another victory on Monday on Edmonton's home ice.

Here is a way to look at it: Colorado is a level above, just as Edmonton was over Calgary in the second round. “Everyone is excited to come home,” Zack Kassian, the right wing, said. Our season is on the line.” Valeri Nichushkin was credited with that goal and got another to put the Avalanche ahead 2-1 early in the second period. McDavid scored just 38 seconds after the opening puck drop to stake his team to a 1-0 lead. Colorado can clinch a spot in the Stanley Cup Finals with another victory on Monday on Edmonton’s home ice.

While the Avalanche need both of their netminders to be healthy in a strong tandem to get to their ultimate goal, Francouz proved that he’s capable of giving the team a chance to win with him in net. Nicolas Aube-Kubel was back in the lineup for a presumed Andre Burakovsky injury and he provided a nice physical element except for one dumb penalty at the end of the second period. For my money, the biggest thing the Oilers needed to do was find a way to slow the Avalanche down in the neutral zone. After a barn burner in Game 1, both the Colorado Avalanche and Edmonton Oilers were searching for some tighter defense in the second meeting of this series. The other thing they needed to do was find a way to get more pucks on net and actually test Colorado’s goaltending. Either way, the Oilers need a win and it’s going to take a big time effort from everyone on the ice to get the job done. Not only do the Oilers have to fire more pucks on net, but they also have to get themselves to the net and make life difficult for the goalie. It was an encouraging bounce-back effort for Josh Manson. Not only was the goal nice but he made several smart defensive plays including one big block on the Oilers’ power play. In Game 2 on Thursday night, the Oilers looked so incredibly nervous from my side of the TV screen and those jitters led to the Avalanche having all of the time and space they needed to do basically anything they wanted with the puck, and I don’t think I need to tell anyone reading this why that’s a major problem. Even though we spent the day wondering how Francouz would step up in Kuemper’s absence, I thought the Oilers barely tested him outside of a few chances they couldn’t make good on early in the first period and that has to change in Game 3. I think back to 2006 when the Oilers were down 2-0 in their series with the Sharks and came roaring back with four straight wins to win the series in six games and punch their ticket to the Western Conference Finals. Now, in the exact same position all these years later, the Oilers will need to summon that same determination to start winning the small battles and get back to playing the flavour of hockey that’s got them here in the first place. I don’t know if Edmonton was overwhelmed by the moment or what was going on around them, but that was not the effort nor the execution we needed to pick up a win regardless of who the Avalanche had in net.
