Golden Knights-Avalanche Score Watch Turns Up the Heat

ESPN’s live score setup tells you all you need to know: this one matters enough to track in real time. Vegas and Colorado bring the kind of pace that can turn a game into a track meet if either side gets loose for even a few shifts. The scoreboard will not tell the full story, though, because these teams usually punish mistakes and cash in when the pressure spikes. That is why this matchup has the feel of something bigger than a single night.
