Game clarity
The first time, for the most part, was a “type” type of flow, lasting more than 17 minutes. The Islanders got on the board first after the puck defled off Mil Heineman’s skate and somehow had Scott Wedgewood. The Avalanche were trying to generate offense, but the pass seemed like it shouldn’t connect like they wanted. The energy and effort was there, but nothing came together. Wedgewood, behind the goal, was hit in and made a save to keep the avalanche within one. The shootout was tied at 7-7, but the Islanders were up 1-0 after 20 minutes.

The second period saw goals, both from the Avalanche. It only took 4:32 of the middle frame to see the home team tied as Cale Mankar hit Ross Colton on a setter in the Islanders zone. Colton, with a quick wrist, caught Ilya Sorokin off guard and scored short between the netminder and the right post. Then, not even 1:19 later, Victor Olofsson chased Sam Malinski from the blue line to redirect the puck past Sorokin to move the avalanche to the lead.
After being down 1-0 after the first 20 minutes, it only took 5:51 in the second period for the avalanche from 1-0 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to at 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1 to 2-1. Wedgewood stood tall in Colorado as he made several 10-bell bell saves in the second period. He kept the Avalanche in the game and made sure to keep the lead in the second half. Despite being outshot 12-10 by the Islanders, the Avalanche had a 2-1 lead after the second period.

The third period seemed like the game would stay 2-1 as both wedgewood and sorokin would sell big after big save after big save. After killing their fourth penalty, the avalanche, with 35 seconds left in the game, made it 3-1 after an empty net goal from Martin Necas. His 13th of the season, for the most part, put this game away. Then, with 15 seconds left, the tied bowls made it 4-1 after his shot from the blue line near the benches passed sorokin so he could really put sorokin in.
Wedgewood’s 28 saves helped push the Avalanche’s win streak to six games, and the team is now on a 10-game streak. They are 13-1-5 on the season, and their next game is Thursday, November 20, against the New York Rangers. As for the Islanders, their winning streak snapped, and they are now 10-7 all-time.
