Lehkonen, Makar Lead Avalanche to 5-2 Victory over Flames

On Saturday night in Denver, Artturi Lehkonen scored twice and Nathan MacKinnon added a goal and an assist as the Colorado Avalanche defeated the Calgary Flames 5-2.
The Avalanche faced Flames goaltender Arsenii Sergeev, who made 29 saves in his second career start, less than 24 hours after Calgary defeated Seattle.
Brock Nelson, Martin Necas, and Lehkonen fueled a three-goal burst in the second period that gave Colorado a four-goal lead, with defenceman Cale Makar recording four assists.
Calgary's Joel Farabee and Martin Pospisil scored to narrow the deficit, but Avalanche goalie Mackenzie Blackwood made 25 saves to secure the victory.
Colorado, having won two straight against opponents on the second night of a back-to-back, visits the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday; Calgary plays the San Jose Sharks on Monday.
