Lehkonen, Blackwood Lead Avalanche Past Canadiens 4-1 without MacKinnon, Makar
Artturi Lehkonen scored and assisted as Colorado got goals from four players and Mackenzie Blackwood made 25 saves without Nathan MacKinnon or Cale Makar.
- On Saturday, the Colorado Avalanche defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 at the Bell Centre, with former Hab Artturi Lehkonen scoring his 15th goal of the season and goalie Mackenzie Blackwood making 25 saves.
- Colorado played without star forwards Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar after both sustained lower-body injuries during Thursday's overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators. Head coach Jared Bednar said MacKinnon will miss at least a month, while Makar is expected to miss two weeks.
- Despite a highlight-reel goal by Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki for his 8th of the season, a potential rally stalled when officials overturned Alex Newhook's deflection after a video review for a high stick. Montreal had entered on a 12-game point streak.
- Avalanche goalie Blackwood stopped 25 shots to anchor the defensive effort, while Canadiens netminder Jakub Dobes made 22 saves in his first start in nine days. The shutout proved decisive in securing Colorado's victory.
- Colorado defenseman Brent Burns became the 14th player in NHL history to play 1,600 games, marking a significant milestone as the team prepares to finish a four-game trip Wednesday against the Utah Mammoth.
