The Colorado Avalanche shut out the San Jose Sharks in Game 4 with a 3-0 victory, and now the series shifts to San Jose. Goaltender Philipp Grubauer was a monster at goal, while Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen flourished on offense. Also, check out young Columbus Blue Jackets’ fans with an interesting song and dance.
Grubauer wrote history

Rantanen with a magical assist
Colorado Avalanche up 1-0 early in the third period when Mikko Rantanen found Colin Wilson in a quite unorthodox way to record his second dish of the game. Check out to see Rantanen’s cunningness and magic.
Pretty sure Mikko Rantanen is a magician with his passes. #StanleyCup

MacKinnon is red hot!
Nathan MacKinnon opened the scoring in the Colorado Avalanche’s 3-0 win over San Jose Sharks in Game 4. He continued a hot streak of eight straight games in the playoffs with at least a point. He joined elite company and needs two more games with a point to tie legendary Joe Sakic’s record.
There's just no stopping @Mackinnon9 as of late. #StanleyCup

CBJ, kick their butts!
The Columbus Blue Jackets lost Game 4 of their series against the Boston Bruins. With the series now tied at 2-2, a couple of young fans still made this clip in which they sing and dance with Artemi Panarin on the TV behind them. Here you can see the girls’ choreography and listen to the song. It’s great!
Baby Shark. Flossing. @9Artemi.
