Avalanche triumphed over Senators 5-1 in Ottawa

The Colorado Avalanche won decisively against the Ottawa Senators with a score of 5-1. This victory came after a strong first period where Colorado scored four goals. Nathan MacKinnon, Brock Nelson, Cale Makar, and Joel Kiviranta were the players who found the net for the Avalanche. Brock Nelson had a standout game, scoring two goals. This was his first scoring achievement since joining Colorado from the New York Islanders. Goalie Scott Wedgewood made 15 saves, although he did allow a late power-play goal from Ottawa’s Dylan Cozens. The Avalanche's offense overwhelmed Senators goalie Linus Ullmark, forcing him out of the game after he let in four goals on just 13 shots. Backup Anton Forsberg performed better, allowing only one goal on 19 shots. The Senators are struggling after losing their last two games. They had previously enjoyed a six-game winning streak. Cozens has been impressive since joining Ottawa, contributing points in six of his last seven games. Next, the Senators will play against the New Jersey Devils. Meanwhile, the Avalanche will face the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.
