Overview
- Colorado beat Calgary 5-2 Saturday night with Artturi Lehkonen scoring twice and Nathan MacKinnon adding a goal and an assist.
- A three-goal burst early in the second period flipped a 1-0 game into a 4-0 lead and served as the decisive momentum shift.
- Calgary started Arsenii Sergeev after recalling him from the AHL when Devin Cooley was placed on injured reserve and Sergeev made 29 saves in his second NHL start.
- Colorado, which had been rested, also relied on Mackenzie Blackwood’s 25 saves while dealing with a longer absence for defenseman Josh Manson and a second-period scare when Brock Nelson was struck on the helmet but returned.
- The result continues Colorado’s success against teams on the second night of a back-to-back and sends the Flames to San Jose and the Avalanche to Chicago for Monday night games.
