Vasilevskiy, Brandon Hagel, and Anthony Cirelli were the game’s three stars.

Well, if there’s one sure way to get the bad taste of a couple of sleepy post All-Star Break games out of your mouth, it’s pulling down the pants of the pretending, er defending, champions and spanking them until your arm gets sore. Just delightful. Absolutely delightful.

Oh, I get it, Cale Makar was out and that made all the difference Avs fans (cough, cough, Lightning likely three-peat if Brayden Point is healthy).

Nick Perbix had 2 shots in 10:02. With tonight’s appearance Perbix graduates from prospect status on the site.
