In a comeback from a shaky start, Brock Nelson’s two goals showcased the Isles' offensive prowess, especially as they dominated the second period and responded effectively to the opposition.
The outcome of the game was a lesson in seizing opportunities, particularly for the Islanders, as multiple missteps by the Avalanche were capitalized on throughout the match.
