They seem like pretty evenly matched teams at this point but if you look at the underlying stats, the Avs are the better team overall. They can't expect Fluery to play that way all the time but the Avs can't allow plays like that to happen. Aside from that 2nd goal, which was an unfortunate bounce (although it was created by a good chance), they just had some lapses that lead to good chances. It's still early in the season, there is a lot of hockey to play and these teams play four more. I fully expect to see these teams in the divisional final.
