"With the game still scoreless early in the second period, the Kings were awarded a penalty shot. Kings forward Quinton Byfield took the shot. On the attempt, he faked a shot to get Avalanche goalie Scott Wedgewood to drop to his knees before attempting a backhand to the right. Wedgewood, however, extended his body to his left and made a miraculous save with his glove to keep the game tied at 0."
"The home crowd was understandably thrilled about Edgewood's save, and the ensuing celebration got so crazy that fans pounding on the glass actually broke it right behind the Kings' bench. A replay of the incident showed fans repeatedly hitting the glass until a pane suddenly shattered under the pressure."
"The shattered glass caused a very lengthy delay as employees worked to clean it up. New glass was installed after a 17-minute delay, during which both teams remained on the ice."
