0:00.0	So Kail Makar comes back and the Aves start scoring with their forwards again, huh?
0:05.1	Interesting.
0:06.7	Avs win over the Calgary Flames 3 to 1.
0:09.5	Look, if you thought the last game was meaningless against Edmonton, this game was even more so.
0:14.4	Not only do the Aves not have anything to play for, Calgary does not either, and Calgary is bad.
0:20.6	Of the Aves' objectives in this game, actually winning the game was maybe the fifth or even
0:26.0	lower on the list.
0:27.4	I don't think it's really worth getting too into the weeds on the details of this game,
0:31.6	because Calgary is bad, like I mentioned.
0:33.3	The Avs were clearly the better team, despite the fact that they were clearly not going 100%.
0:38.3	Nope, the Aves' objectives in this game were pretty clear.
0:41.3	Number one, get Kail McCarr back up to game speed.
0:43.3	Check.
0:44.3	Number two, get a good game out of Mackenzie Blackwood.
0:47.3	Check.
0:48.3	Number three, get Marty Natchez 100 points on the season.
0:51.3	Check.
0:52.3	And number four, secure the Rocket Trophy for Nathan McKinnon.
0:55.0	Check. The game itself even saw Brock Nelson and Devon Tave's healthy scratch just to get them some rest.
1:01.0	And I will show you the goals, but there's just not a ton to take out of this game.
1:05.0	Nothing happened in the first period. It was probably the Ab's worst period of the game too, and it's zero-zero. Moving on. The second period is Calgary to score first. Another night where a lot of goals come off of face-off wins. Who knew? Controlling the puck in the offensive zone is kind of important. Calgary's able to win this one back, and Blake Coleman's going to go to the dirty areas and engage with the contact. Brett Kulak just kind of gives them a cross check right to the numbers. I don't even think this is necessarily bad defense. But while falling over, Blake Coleman is still able to put a ridiculously good tip on that one. Wow. I can respect a heck of a play when one gets made. Unreal tip from Blake Coleman. Tip the cap. Move on with your life. Now here is where something
1:44.6	interesting happens for the abs. They do get that goal back in the second period off of a nice play,
