Lehkonen’s goal was reviewed for potential high sticking for a moment but the officials agreed it was a clean goal. It was Lehkonen’s sixth goal of the postseason and put the cap on an incredible comeback by Colorado.

The Avalanche came back from a two-goal deficit in the third period.

Colorado scored 31 seconds into the final period of regulation with a Devon Toews goal to cut the deficit to one. It was Toews’ fifth goal of the playoffs and came on assists from Gabriel Landeskog and Cale Makar. But about 3 1/2 minutes later, Edmonton scored again with Zach Hyman’s second of the game to go back up two goals, 4-2.

The Avalanche would strike back big.
