Martin Necas and Brock Nelson also scored, and defenceman Cale Makar<\/a> had four assists for the Avalanche. Mackenzie Blackwood made 25 saves.<\/p>\n

Colorado has won two in a row against opponents playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Avalanche defeated New Jersey on Wednesday and faced Calgary\u2019s No. 3 goaltender, Arsenii Sergeev<\/a>, less than 24 hours after the Flames beat Seattle.<\/p>\n

Joel Farabee and Martin Pospisil scored for Calgary. Sergeev made 29 saves in his second career start and first this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sergeev was recalled from the AHL when the Flames placed Devin Cooley on the injured list with a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n

Colorado was not whistled for a penalty, while Calgary took three \u2014 two on a double-minor late in the third period.<\/p>\n

The Avalanche, who lost defenceman Josh Manson for two months after he injured an ankle against the Devils, saw Nelson exit in the second when he took a shot by Makar off the side of his helmet.<\/p>\n

Nelson, who scored earlier in the period, was able to skate to the bench and down the tunnel. He returned in the third period.<\/p>\n

Nelson capped a three-goal burst in the first 10 minutes of the second that gave Colorado a 4-0 lead. Farabee scored 1:43 after Nelson\u2019s goal, and Pospisil made it 4-2 when he scored 1:59 into the third.<\/p>\n

Lehkonen deflected Makar\u2019s shot from the point at 4:09 to make it 5-2.<\/p>\n

Two of Blackwood’s stops came after MacKinnon made it 1-0 late in the first. Blackwood made a sprawling glove save on Matt Coronato with 8.5 seconds left in the period and then stopped Farabee 12 seconds into the second.<\/p>\n
