The Colorado Avalanche showcased their full potential in a dominating 7-3 victory against the San Jose Sharks. Cale Makar achieved a franchise record for defensemen with six points, becoming the first in decades to have at least two goals and six points in a single game. Nathan MacKinnon also shone with five points. This win marks the Avalanche's fourth straight as they exhibit improved performance after overcoming injuries. Additionally, they made a significant trade for forward Brock Nelson, enhancing their roster as they gear up for the season's challenges post-trade deadline.
"Just amazing. Tough to find a better player in this league, playing half the game, doing what he does every night," said Avs star Nathan MacKinnon, who also had five points. "It's fun to see every night."
"I thought we were dialed in, focused and on our toes right from the start," Avs coach Jared Bednar said. "We had really good hunger. I loved our first period."
