Overview
- The Avalanche scored five unanswered goals to win 5-2 at the United Center Monday after falling behind 2-0 early.
- Nazem Kadri and Jaden Schwartz each had two goals and Devon Toews added an empty-netter as Colorado closed the game strong.
- Goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood made 21 saves and extended a hot run that helped the Avalanche snap a recent road slide.
- Chicago built a 2-0 lead on Wyatt Kaiser and Roman Kantserov but surrendered the game and now sit 4-10-1 while beginning a three-game road trip.
- Patrick Kane exited in the second period with an upper-body injury and coach Jeff Blashill said he will miss the next couple of games, which deepens Chicago’s short-term lineup strain; the game also featured a successful goaltender-interference coach challenge that overturned a Martin Necas goal and a double-minor on Artyom Levshunov for a high elbow on Cale Makar.
