Game Recap

Valeri Nichushkin scored just 30 seconds into overtime to lead the Colorado Avalanche to a thrilling 4-3 comeback win over the Vancouver Canucks. The Avalanche, who have now won five consecutive games, found themselves down by three goals early in the second period before rallying back. Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon each contributed a goal and an assist, with Ross Colton also scoring and Alexandar Georgiev making 18 saves for Colorado. The Canucks, who saw their four-game winning streak come to an end, had goals from Nikita Zadorov, J.T. Miller, and Ilya Mikheyev. Casey DeSmith, filling in for the injured Thatcher Demko, stopped 30 of 34 shots for Vancouver. Colorado capitalized on an extended five-on-three power play in the third period to begin their comeback, with MacKinnon's goal cutting the deficit to 3-2. MacKinnon's goal extended his point streak to 14 games, the longest active streak in the league. Rantanen also kept his 11-game point streak alive with a goal. The Canucks had a strong start, with J.T. Miller scoring 24 seconds into the game and Ilya Mikheyev adding a second goal shortly after. However, the Avalanche's late-game heroics, starting with an opportunity created by a penalty from Vancouver's Carson Soucy, allowed them to force overtime and eventually claim the victory. Both teams look ahead to their next games, with the Avalanche visiting Edmonton and the Canucks hosting Washington on Saturday.
