Artturi Lehkonen scored the tiebreaking goal with 14.7 seconds left and Mackenzie Blackwood made 33 saves and the Colorado Avalanche defeated the New York Rangers 5-4 on Sunday.
Martin Necas had two assists, nearly scored twice himself and excelled on the top line. Jack Drury scored a goal and centered a new-look depth line while all 12 Avs forwards played more than 10 minutes, a departure from the usual top-heavy distribution.
Makar scored again to give Colorado a 3-2 lead at 14:36 of the period with the Avs on the power play. Necas reversed the puck from the right side of the ice to the left, then MacKinnon set up Makar at the top of the zone for his 18th goal of the season.
The Rangers fell 5-4 to the Avalanche on Sunday. A goal with 14.7 seconds remaining. largely due to a lack of situation awareness creating the turnover and subsequent 3-on-1 breakout, gave Colorado the win.
Ridly Greig opened the scoring for Ottawa with a short-handed goal with 7:44 left in the second period. Clayton Keller tied it 1:36 later. Karel Vejmelka stopped 24 shots for Utah, which closed a three-game trip with its second straight loss.
To say the new guys, Martin Necas and Jack Drury, were worth the trade of Mikko Rantanen is way too soon, and I would never. But, we have to look to the future because what’s done is done and there are still 31 games to be played.
