Avs/Predators tonight is a TNT broadcast, so expect a 7:52 start. That’s 8:52 local in Nashville…

Blackwood, Avalanche survive to beat Flyers 3-2 and cap successful weekend | 5 takeaways: gazette.com/2025/12/07/b...

A road power play goal for the Avalanche.

Incredible patience by Necas with the puck on that Burns goal. 1-1

Mackenzie Blackwood leads the #Avs out here in Philly. He’ll start on back-to-back afternoons.

After a slow start, the Avalanche outshot the Rangers 37-16 over the final 50 minutes on Saturday. That’s more of what we’re accustomed to seeing this season. Nathan MacKinnon dazzles as Avalanche defeat Rangers 3-2 in OT at Madison Square Garden gazette.com/2025/12/06/n...

Holy cow Nathan MacKinnon. Hart Trophy stuff right there. RIP Will Borgen. Avs win 3-2.

The puck hits Kiviranta’s helmet after the high stick. Maybe that negates it?

That was an awfully high stick by Panarin to keep the puck in the zone. Currently under review for missed stoppage. It’s close.

At one point in the first period, the shots were 10-5 in favor of the Rangers. It’s 30-11 in favor of the Avalanche since then. And now it’s 2-1 Avs after Nathan MacKinnon hits a home run.

Sam Malinski picks up his 15th point of the season in game 28. He had 15 (career high) in 76 last year.

Everyone is accounted for during #Avs warmups. Tristen Nielsen is not taking line rushes. Same lineup to start that has started the past couple games.

It’s the 30 year anniversary of the most important trade (IMO) in Avalanche history.

#Avs coach Jared Bednar on the first Islanders goal: “Goalie interference is a joke. If that’s not goalie interference, I don’t know what is. You can’t just shove the goalie’s pads out of the way and create a loose puck.”

Avs will lose to the Islanders, only their second regulation loss of the season and first since October. Heck of a run but a tough night for the team. Back at it Saturday against the Rangers.

The Avs power play being as bad as it is really is remarkable.

Blackwood still in net and lines are back to how they started the game.

The Avs had only given up 32 shots against in 6 games this season coming into tonight. They’ve given up 32 through two periods.

Since Wedgewood’s status for the weekend back-to-back is in question, may make sense to give Blackwood the third period off. Hasn’t been his or the team’s night anyway.

Necas was out there with MacKinnon for his goal because Nate had stayed late on his shift, but looks like Necas has been moved to the third line. 92-29-62 20-11-13 95-18-88

Those are two bad calls so we’re even at 4-on-4.

Here’s what the league has to say about the Islanders first goal.

Hmmm, that’s an interesting call. Gatcomb’s stick was lodged in Blackwood’s pads. Can see why Bednar challenged. 1-0 Isles

A simple blocked shot last October ended the hottest stretch of Ross Colton’s career. His season never recovered. “It sucked, honestly.” A “frustrating” end to 2024-25 has him motivated, and now he’s playing the best hockey in an Avalanche uniform. www.denvergazette.com/2025/12/04/a...

#Avs coach Jared Bednar said Scott Wedgewood is day-to-day, but worked out this morning and could play on this road trip. Mackenzie Blackwood will start tonight on Long Island. Same lineup otherwise.

This is absolutely absurd.

Trent Miner has been recalled from the Colorado Eagles. Expecting him to support on the road as this Wedgewood back issue unravels.

On Altitude Radio, Bednar said Gavin Brindley is ahead of schedule and he’s going on the road trip because he’s “pretty close.” Could play towards the end of it. He’s hoping to have a clearer picture with LOC soon. Nothing new on Wedgewood than what was said last night.

Bednar said Wedgewood's back started to tighten up so they didn't want to take any chances. He should travel with the team on the road trip.

Avs win 3-1. Still have not lost in regulation at home. At no point did it feel like this game was in any danger for them. They’re rolling.

The #Avs are outscoing the other team 37-9 when Nathan MacKinnon is on the ice at 5v5 this season. Thirty. Seven. To. Nine.

Asked Bednar about Sam Girard's game yesterday and he said "it's coming" and that Saturday might have been his best game of the season. I think today may have surpassed that one. You can see he's starting to get his legs back.

Scott Wedgewood will not return due to an upper-body issue.

Nathan MacKinnon is on pace for 69 goals right now.

We are getting an abundance of MacKinnon/Landeskog combo goals this week like it's 2021. Landeskog feeds MacKinnon in the high slot and it's 3-1.

Brock Nelson scores off a great feed by Landeskog to make it 2-1. Colton with a chip off the boards in the d-zone to spring Landy.

Mackenzie Blackwood is in net now. Didn't see what happened.

Late Nathan MacKinnon goal ties the game up at 1-1. Another goal created by Devon Toews jumping into the rush, which he's been doing a lot more of the past week.

Extremely honored to have been named a finalist for Colorado Sportswriter of the Year with four other great writers.

Valeri Nichushkin will play tonight. All the guys who missed practice yesterday are good to go.

Wedgewood appears to be in net tonight. Nichushkin is on the ice this AM for the optional skate, so he did indeed survive yesterday. We’ll find out later if he plays.

It’s been nearly 8 months since Cale Makar scored a power play goal. In typical Cale fashion, he puts it on himself. “I’m just missing spots by a little bit.” But his coach says teams are playing Cale (and Nate) differently. And the Avs must adjust. gazette.com/2025/12/01/a...

Bednar says if Valeri Nichushkin makes it through the day today, he’s a possibility for tomorrow.

Landeskog, MacKinnon, and Kelly not practicing today due to illness. Olofsson not skating due to maintenance.

Gavin Brindley is on the ice this morning in a non-contact jersey.

We're going to overtime here at Ball Arena. A total of 6 goals scored in the third period. DU scored 4 of them, including one with 23 seconds left to tie it up. Boston Buckberger, who attended Avs dev camp last year, has the game-tying goal.

Avs/Canadiens all done, played some Ghosts of Tsushima on the handheld and now DU/Minnesota in under an hour. Long day at Ball Arena.

MacKinnon, Makar, and Necas are all top 10 in scoring, but now Landy has 6 points in 5 games and Brock Nelson has 11 in 9. The Avs are, somehow, becoming even tougher to play against. www.denvergazette.com/2025/11/29/a...
