At times it looked like the Colorado Avalanche winless streak was going to push it’s way to five games, but Nathan MacKinnon would have none of that.
The Avs dominated the entire game vs the Anaheim Ducks, but they still needed OT to get the extra point and get one in the win column. A stellar performance by Ducks goalie Lukas Dostal kept this one from being a runaway, and the Ducks had chances to win it themselves. But there was too much fire power from the Avs, in the form of 49 shots on goal. In the end Nathan MacKinnon took on all three Ducks defenders with less than a minute to go in OT to seal the win.

Ducks quack and the AVS are back! 💙❤️👋😎
Finally a W! But to have a chance for the Stanley Cup we need to win against "bostons" of the league and not only "anaheims".
Still, Colton and Mittelstadt are going strong and turning into players that we so desperately need. Go Avs!
Tonight's version of Mikko is needed every game!
New season, new Band-Maid sound check with Brightest Star of course in honor of the reigning Hart Trophy winner Nate Dogg and his game-winning goal splitting the entire Ducks team.
Ahain, Officiating was abysmal.
That looked like an Avs game! Weird-ass ref calls/no calls, and Colton and Casey KittenSoftMittens were cooking with gas. And when Mac does that, he makes it look like a shootout goal. He can do that 1 on 5, not just 1 on 3.
Summary: Yes!
Soundcheck: Vivaldi, from the Four Seasons: "Winter". (Preferred: Mari Samuelsen, soloist)
Figures they get a win on a night I needed to go to bed early for work and miss the 3rd period.
About the face-off thing. I don't know if anyone noticed or realize it but mikko is the guy who wins faceoffs. And mackinnon knows that hense why mikko took a few puck drops over mackinnon last night.
I was at the game last night and the refereeing was some of the worst I have ever seen. For both sides.
Is the league catching up to how to beat the Avs?
Beautiful game, domination from start to finish. Should have been 7-8 goals for the Avs
Lol this team needs a real goalie. I don't know what you guys are smoking down at the studio but a below 890 save precentage is not acceptable. It's the same story as last year with the goaltending yet sakic did nothing to fix the problem now they're paying for it.
Colton and Mittlestadt were especially dangerous in this game, love to see it coming together!
If this was game 1 i wouldnt hate georgievs game. After the previous 4 games georgiev has to make that final save. It wasnt screened, or tipped, and he just blew the save. I do hate the fans booing him directly
Live to win, that entire game was a grind. The refs were meh but Damm I could care less in comparison to Sammy's play. Play too the whistle is beaten into you from middle school. This is the nhl. Georgiev had a decent game. Id rest him with the win though.
YEAH BABY
