Ehlers Opens The Scoring In A Hurry

Nikolaj Ehlers wasted no time getting Game 1 moving, and that kind of start can scramble a bench in a hurry. When the first goal comes that fast, the reaction on both sides tells you plenty about who expected to control the night. Coaches hate that feeling because it forces an instant reset before the game has even found its legs. Ehlers gave this one a jolt before most of the crowd had settled in.
