What our Post expert thinks about Golden Knights vs. Avalanche

Vegas proved in Game 1 that its playoff formula can work even against the league’s most talented roster, combining opportunistic scoring with disciplined team defense to frustrate Colorado for long stretches.

The Golden Knights also showcased their depth, as unlikely contributors like Dylan Coghlan and postseason breakout Brett Howden delivered pivotal goals while Carter Hart — once again — anchored the effort with timely saves.

For Colorado, the loss underscored how much cleaner its puck management and transition play must be against Vegas’ structured defensive system, especially after costly turnovers fueled odd-man rushes the other way.

At the same time, the Avalanche are still as dangerous as ever heading into Game 2, particularly with the possibility of Cale Makar’s return looming.
