Artturi Lehkonen<\/a> had a goal and an assist, and Nathan MacKinnon<\/a> had three assists to extend his point streak to 10 games (eight goals, 14 assists) for the Avalanche (11-1-5), who have won four straight and are 6-0-2 in their past eight. Scott Wedgewood<\/a> made 35 saves.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat start. First shift, we score, obviously, and I liked our first period,\u201d Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. \u201cIt’s a marathon, so you’re not always going to have your A game. You have to find ways to win when you got some guys that maybe aren’t at their best or the whole team is a little sluggish.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a lot more fun winning than losing, and we’re here to have fun for eight months while we get better as a team. We want to enjoy ourselves and make it an enjoyable experience for everybody, and we’re trying to do that, and we still have our eye on the prize at the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leo Carlsson<\/a> scored to extend his point streak to 11 games (nine goals, 11 assists), and Dostal made 32 saves for the Ducks (11-4-1).<\/p>\n

\u201cTerrible start for us. Certainly they got off to a great start. Goalie kept us in the game,\u201d Anaheim coach Joel Quenneville said. \u201cThe pace was good, but we had to be better. We weren’t good enough anyways tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lehkonen gave Colorado a 1-0 lead just 28 seconds into the first period, scoring five-hole with a one-timer from the left circle off a pass from MacKinnon.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt settles you in,\u201d Wedgewood said of having a quick lead. \u201cYou obviously feel like you got to be dialed, but it’s just a little bit of like, ‘All right, there’s cushion.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Carlsson tied it 1-1 during a 4-on-4 at 18:16. He played the puck around the boards, where Jacob Trouba<\/a> knocked it to himself around Devon Toews<\/a> behind the net. Trouba then fed the puck back out front to Carlsson, who was left all alone at the edge of the crease.<\/p>\n

\u201c[I was] out there for a while, I think. A little tired, but then I saw [Trouba] flying in,\u201d Carlsson said. \u201cI was just alone in front of the net and he found me. So, amazing pass.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Artturi Lehkonen had a goal and an assist, and Nathan MacKinnon had three assists to extend his point…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":279459,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-279458","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279458\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
