In an action-packed game, Brock Nelson led the Colorado Avalanche to a dominating 7-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Nelson notched two goals and two assists, hitting a career milestone of 600 points. Gabriel Landeskog also shined with two goals of his own.
Nathan MacKinnon added to the Avalanche’s success with a goal and two assists, maintaining his lead in NHL points. Colorado’s strong performance extended their point streak to 16 games, with eight consecutive wins at home and only one regulation loss in 25 games.
Brent Burns and Devon Toews contributed goals for the Avalanche, while Ivan Demidov and Lane Hutson scored for the Canadiens. Mackenzie Blackwood’s impressive goaltending was notable, despite allowing a goal to Demidov which ended his shutout streak.
The game saw intense moments, including a disputed goal that was eventually credited to Landeskog after a challenge for goaltender interference by Montreal. The Avalanche’s victory was marked with a special tribute as they wore blue Quebec jerseys, commemorating their history since relocating from Quebec to Denver.
