With 3:18 remaining in a scoreless first period, a scrum began behind the Colorado goal. The scrum started off as a usually encounter with pushing and shoving until Cale Makar delivered a cross-check to Mason Marchment. In typical Marchment fashion the forward responded the only way he knows how.
No penalties were awarded on the play, but it's clear that Marchment got the better of this exchange. With their season on the line, gaining any form of retribution would be difficult for the Avalanche, who ultimately fell in double overtime on a Matt Duchene game winning goal.
