Eberle received a two-minute minor and escaped supplemental discipline for the hit, while Cogliano returned for the third period of Colorado's victory.
Cogliano appeared in 79 games for the Avalanche this season, registering 19 points while averaging 12:37 per contest. He was acquired by Colorado at the 2022 trade deadline and helped the club win the Stanley Cup last spring before signing a one-year extension in the offseason.
The 35-year-old is an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Game 7 between the Avalanche and Kraken is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET on Sunday.
