The Colorado Avalanche topped the Edmonton Oilers 8-6 in the opening game of the Western Conference Finals Tuesday night in Denver.

Defense appeared to have taken the night off in the contest, which tied for the 10th highest-scoring playoff game in NHL history. Despite that, only Colorado’s J.T. Compher had more than one goal, scoring twice. Game 2 is on Thursday.
