While the sunny first period provided the best material if you wanted to put together a hockey calendar, the scene was extremely cool even when it shifted to midnight ET. There was something cozy and almost intimate about the shadows, and the hockey sounds you could soak in without a crowd.

Samuel Girard ended up scoring the only goal of the first period, which felt like the 'first game.' After play resumed, Alec Martinez pounced on a loose puck to make it 1-1.
Then the Nathan MacKinnon goal happened.
For much of the third period, the Avalanche used their speed to stay a step ahead of the Golden Knights. A Devon Toews goal made it 3-1, but then the Golden Knights really started to push. Thanks to a power move by Alex Tuch, the Golden Knights brought it to 3-2. Vegas couldn't get any more than that, though, so Colorado beat its (short-term?) division rivals.
All things considered, the Golden Knights, Avalanche, Lake Tahoe, and that Nevada sun combined for a memorable moment in NHL outdoor games. For fans who want more, the Bruins and Flyers will face off in their own NHL outdoor game at Lake Tahoe on Sunday.
