The Colorado Avalanche just had their best game of the 2025-26 season, in terms of goals for. They demolished the Edmonton Oilers 9-1in Edmonton on Saturday night. By doing so, they suddenly have a target on their back.
In the game vs Edmonton, four players had two goals apiece: Nathan MacKinnon, Parker Kelly, Jack Drury, and Cale Makar. You could tell that they all wanted even more, as the attempts towards Oilers goalie Calvin Pickard continued. Oh, by the way, Pickard didn’t even start the game—Stuart Skinner did, and was replaced after allowing four goals on 13 shots.
