The Colorado Avalanche have been linked to a potential blockbuster trade that would see them reunite with a Stanley Cup champion.
Nathan MacKinnon had two goals and two assists, Cale Makar, Parker Kelly and Jack Drury also scored twice and the Western Conference-leading Colorado Avalanche embarrassed the Edmonton Oilers 9-1 on Saturday night.
It’s a pretty simple argument to make, but the Colorado Avalanche is the best team in the NHL right now.
Nathan MacKinnon and the Colorado Avalanche will look to extend their respective point streaks on Sunday night when they visit the Vancouver Canucks.
Olofsson gave the Avalanche a 3-0 with his first goal of the season and first tally as an Avs player via a right-circle wrist shot at 2:31 of the second period. Jack Ahcan picked up his first-career NHL assist with the primary helper on the goal.
The Colorado Avalanche have signed Martin Necas to an eight-year contract extension through 2034. Necas’ deal is worth $92 million, according to a person familiar with the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because terms were not disclosed.
“We’re not even close,” Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. “There’s a team that’s playing really well, and we’re not. That’s just not one game. If you look at the last five weeks, they’ve been going pretty well. We haven’t. Right now, we’ve got a lot of work to do.”
