* Note: When Tre Leclaire scored the game-winning goal in overtime, he had received a pass from Wesley Berg after exiting the crease, which violated League Rules 67.3 and 17.81. A day later, NLL commissioner Brett Frood released a statement that said the goal should've been disallowed and possession should've been awarded to Colorado, and the officials working the game were suspended for the remainder of the playoffs.
