5 years agoAfter a relatively quiet first period, the Avalanche and Blues exploded for nine goals in the final two periods in Colorado’s 7-3 win. Nathan MacKinnon scored a goal and added three helpers. He now has 14 points in the last 10 games, eight of which have come on the power play. Nazem Kadri scored two goals and now has three in the past two games. He has an outside shot at 30 goals this season. It took four games, but rookie defender Cale Makar has his groove back after missing 20 days due to injury. He scored a goal and added an assist. He has 31 points in 33 games. Young Blues forward Robert Thomas had two goals in the losing effort. He’s now on pace to best most of his totals from his freshman season and has an outside shot at a 40-point season. Goaltender Jordan Binnington had a rare bad game in allowing seven goals but also faced 41 shots.--Marc Hulet - RotoBaller
