Nazem Kadri scored with a tenth of a second remaining in the third period to give the Colorado Avalanche a 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues in the first round-robin game of the 2020 Stanley Cup Qualifiers at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta.
Kadri knocked in a rebound just as time expired during a Colorado power play after St. Louis' Alexander Steen was called for hooking. Gabriel Landeskog and Nathan MacKinnon assisted on Kadri's tally, which had a lengthy review from the NHL situation room in Toronto before it was finally determined that the puck completely crossed the goal line prior to triple zeros showing on the game clock.
It was Kadri's fourth career playoff goal, and his first with Colorado.
