Compher scored twice, Cale Makar had a goal and two assists and the Colorado Avalanche held off the Edmonton Oilers 8-6 on Tuesday night in a fast-paced, no-lead-felt-safe Game 1 of the Western Conference final. Edmonton and Colorado scored six times over a 6:43 span — nearly a goal a minute. Colorado Avalanche left wing J.T. Kuemper left the game in the second period as well, after surrendering three goals on 16 shots. After Cogliano’s goal gave Colorado a 7-3 lead late in the second, it looked like the game might be in hand.
