Blackhawks score 3 in 34 seconds to steal win from Avs
Things fell apart rather quickly for the Colorado Avalanche after amassing a 3-1 lead over the Blackhawks in Chicago on Sunday, and by quickly, we mean "blink and you missed it."
It all started with Jonathan Toews' 19th goal of the season, which was deemed good after a lengthy offside review. While Toews scored by deflecting the puck in front of the net, the zone entry did not appear to be on the level.
The NHL, however, saw it differently.
That opened the floodgates, as Richard Panik and Artemi Panarin each scored within the next 34 seconds to give Chicago the lead.
Here's a look at all three goals.
Toews added his 20th shortly thereafter to cap an offensive outburst of four goals in 3:02 en route to an eventual 6-3 win for the Blackhawks.
It's been that kind of season for the Avs.
