This Colorado Avalanche team has the most explosive offense in the NHL this season, and it doesn’t waste time reminding everyone.
For the ninth time this season, the Avs scored in the first 90 seconds of the game, grabbing another early lead and keeping the Nashville Predators at arm’s length the rest of this Saturday night in a 4-2 victory at Ball Arena. Scott Wedgewood made 27 saves for his 14th win, which is tied for the league lead, and the Avs are now 13-0-2 at home this season.
Nathan MacKinnon collected a pass from Brent Burns just before the red line, galloped into the offensive zone and snapped a shot past ex-Avs goalie Justus Annunen at 1:26 of the first.
