Colorado Avalanche
Last time out, Colorado visited the Vancouver Canucks and left with a poor 4-2 loss. The Avs led 2-0 two minutes into the second period, but they performed a disappering act the rest of the game. Vancouver ended up leading 3-2 after the second period and added the game winner late in the third with an empty netter.
Samuel Girard and Mikko Rantanen both scored for the Avs. Four Colorado players recorded at least one assist in the loss.
Mikko Rantanen is having a nice season for Colorado and leads the way with 26 goals and 48 points. Nathan MacKinnon has a team high 27 assists on the year. The Avalanche are scoring 2.86 goals per game and allow 2.87.
Edmonton Oilers
Edmonton hosted the New York Islanders and a 4-2 win. The Oilers jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead and a crazy second period followed. New York made it 2-1 early in the second, but Edmonton answered with two goals to make it 4-1. The Islanders scored the final goal of the game with under one-minute left in the second period.
Leon Draisaitl, Kailer Yamamoto, Dylan Holloway, and Zach Hyman all scored for Edmonton. Five Oilers recorded at least one assist in the win. Connor McDavid is well on his way to the Hart Trophy this season as he leads the league with 33 goals and 75 total points.
