Here’s a recent NHL story via The Associated Press:
DENVER (AP) — Devon Toews scored 4:23 into overtime after Artturi Lehkonen tied the game late in regulation, and the Colorado Avalanche began a five-game homestand with a 3-2 win over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night.
It was the Avalanche’s 14th comeback victory of the season.
Toews took a pass from Nathan MacKinnon and one-timed a shot past Igor Shesterkin from the right circle. Earlier in overtime, Colorado killed off a power play following an interference penalty on Mikko Rantanen, and Avalanche goalie Mackenzie Blackwood stopped Mika Zibanejad on a breakaway.
Parker Kelly scored in the first period for Colorado. With Blackwood pulled for an extra skater, Lehkonen tied it 2-all off a rebound with 1:13 remaining in the third.
Cale Makar had an assist to reach 50 points for the fifth time in his career. It’s the most 50-point seasons by a defenseman in franchise history.
Blackwood made 27 saves, including several sprawling ones to keep the Avalanche in position to rally.
Sam Carrick had a goal and an assist for New York, which earned at least one point for the fifth straight game (3-0-2). Adam Edstrom also scored, and defenseman Ryan Lindgren had five of the team’s 23 blocked shots.
Makar set up Kelly’s goal in the first but also fumbled the puck on a power play, leading to Carrick’s short-handed goal that tied the game.
Shesterkin finished with 23 saves.
Takeaways
Rangers: Went 3 for 3 on the penalty kill and scored their sixth short-handed goal of the season. But the Rangers were 0 for 3 on the power play.
Avalanche: Makar joined Rantanen and MacKinnon in the 50-point club for Colorado this season. MacKinnon had two assists.
