Avalanche take Game 1 versus Blues thanks to Manson's OT winner

The Colorado Avalanche took Game 1 versus the Blues 3-2, after Josh Manson ended the game on a seeing-eye shot for the game-winner. It was his first career playoff goal, and in a very clutch situation. Jordan Binnington was solid for the Blues, stopping 51 of 54 shots, but ended up taking the loss. Darcy Kuemper made 23 saves on 25 shots, picking up the win.
