Colorado Avalanche top Minnesota Wild in high-scoring opener

In just the 10th playoff game in NHL history with at least 15 combined goals, the Colorado Avalanche overcame blowing a three-goal lead to defeat the short-handed Minnesota Wild 9-6 on Sunday in a wacky Game 1 of this Western Conference semifinal series.

Cale Makar returns from injury, scores twice as Avalanche outlast Wild 9-6 in wacky Game 1

— A tight game was expected. A game featuring 15 goals between two of the top defensive teams?
