Josh Manson recorded a Gordie Howe hat trick including two goals, two assists, and a fight as Colorado scored six goals in the second period to win 8-2, ending a two-game losing streak.

  • Thursday night at Ball Arena, Josh Manson, defenseman for the Colorado Avalanche, completed a Gordie Howe hat trick before 23 minutes, powering the Avalanche to an 8-2 win over the Ottawa Senators.
  • After a mini-slump, the Colorado Avalanche snapped a two-game regulation losing streak and remain unbeaten at home this season at 18-0-2 as their homestand at Ball Arena began.
  • In the second period, the Colorado Avalanche scored five goals in a short span, tying a franchise record for goals in a period as Nathan MacKinnon, center, had a four-point night and regained the NHL scoring lead.
