A disputed no-goal sparks a 2-goal swing as the Avalanche grab a 3-0 Game 3 lead
Video review upheld the no-goal call on Pavel Dorofeyev, and Jack Drury scored 41 seconds later to give Colorado a 3-0 lead.
In Sunday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Final, the Colorado Avalanche built a 3-0 lead over the Vegas Golden Knights after officials disallowed a Pavel Dorofeyev goal, citing Rule 67.6.
Video review determined Dorofeyev used his hand to bat the puck into the net, voiding the tally; Jack Drury scored a short-handed goal 41 seconds later, extending Colorado's lead to three.
Vegas surged back in the second period with three unanswered goals from Captain Mark Stone, William Karlsson, and Keegan Kolesar, tying the score 3-3 with 7:14 remaining in the frame.
Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon left the ice favoring an injury, while the arena held a moment of silence for Las Vegas native Kyle Busch, who died Thursday at 41.
Facing a 2-0 series deficit, the Golden Knights fought to remain competitive against Colorado, relying on goaltender Carter Hart to anchor the team's comeback effort.
