Last night the Colorado Avalanche faces off against the Chicago Blackhawks in a Western Conference matchup. The two teams sit on opposite sides of the standings, with the Avalanche focussed on the playoffs and the Blackhawks just trying to play out the stretch of remaining games. Based off of the final score the difference between both teams was pretty obvious.
The Avalanche would win the game 5-0, and secure the 2 points. However, it is a play between Josh Manson and Connor Bedard that fans are still talking about today.
The play occurred in the Avalanche zone, where Bedard stands watching the puck at the blueline. As Bedard waits in the center of the ice, Manson approaches from behind and delivers a hard slash to the wrist/hand area. The blow which went uncalled was enough to knock the stick from Bedard's hand.
