Athletistic / Hockey. The match between Winnipeg and Colorado managed to break several records. Recall that the match between these teams ended with a score of 7:6 in favor of Winnipeg.
Russian Valery Nichushkin helped Colorado take the lead in this match, and Vladislav Namestnikov managed to make the score 2:1 in favor of Winnipeg.
The record is that the teams managed to score six goals each in the first and third periods. This is the first time in the 21st century that teams have managed to score more than 6 goals in more than one period during the NHL playoffs.
In the entire history of the NHL, this was the second case. The first time this happened was in 1982, during a game between Los Angeles and Edmonton.
Also in this game, the teams set a 21st century record for scoring in an NHL playoff opener.
