Ross Colton<\/a> also scored for the Avalanche, who followed a 4-1 victory over Los Angeles on Tuesday with a successful home opener. Colorado is starting its 30th season since relocating from Quebec in 1995.<\/p>\n

Dylan Guenther<\/a> scored for Utah in its first regular-season game as the Mammoth. Guenther had a team-high seven shots on goal, including a breakaway that Wedgewood stopped.<\/p>\n

Utah pulled goaltender Karel Vejmelka<\/a> with more than a minute remaining, but couldn\u2019t score the tying goal. Vejmelka made 23 saves.<\/p>\n

MacKinnon took a pass from Cale Makar<\/a> and lined a shot into the upper corner of the net with 17:08 remaining. The fast-skating MacKinnon led the NHL in home scoring last season with 68 points (21 goals, 47 assists).<\/p>\n

Guenther tied it at 1 with 2:12 remaining in the second period. He sent a shot from inside the blue line on a power play that tied up Wedgewood. Guenther led Utah with 12 power-play goals last season.<\/p>\n

A precision passing display by the Avalanche’s third line got them on the board in the first period. Victor Olofsson sent a pass across the ice to Jack Drury<\/a>, who sent it back to Colton for the score.<\/p>\n

Defenceman Dmitri Simashev<\/a> was one of five players who made their Mammoth debut Thursday. Simashev, the sixth overall pick in 2023, spent last season helping Lokomotiv Yaroslavl capture the KHL\u2019s Gagarin Cup.<\/p>\n
