Adin Hill made 21 saves, but only two in the third period.

Cale Makar scored and added an assist for the Avalanche, who also got goals from Ross Colton and Mikko Rantanen. Alexandar Georgiev stopped 26 shots.

The Avalanche scored twice on seven shots to start the game. Colton made a shot from a tight angle near the goal line that surprised Hill, then Makar doubled the lead from the slot. The visitors limited the Golden Knights to six shots in the first period.

The Golden Knights thought they had reduced the gap in the first part of the second period when Hertl deflected a shot into the net, but the Avalanche requested video review for an obstructing gesture against the goaltender. The decision on the ice was overturned and Rantanen made it 3-0 afterward.

Karlsson and teammate Brayden McNabb competed in their 500e game in the National Hockey League.
