Overview

  • Newly extended Martin Necas scored 41 seconds in and finished with a goal and two assists after inking an eight-year, $92 million deal.
  • Scott Wedgewood stopped 22 shots for his league-high seventh victory, backing a penalty kill that went 5-for-6.
  • Vegas’ power play sputtered at 1-for-6 and is 2-for-19 without injured captain Mark Stone.
  • Brent Burns netted his first Avalanche goal, Cale Makar added a goal and an assist, and Carl Lindbom made 22 saves in his second NHL start for Vegas.
