The Colorado Avalanche defeated the Anaheim Ducks 5-1 in an NHL game at Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The Avalanche scored two goals in the first period, one in the second, and two in the third, while the Ducks scored one goal in the second period. Cale Makar scored a goal and had two assists for Colorado, and Parker Kelly scored two goals.
Gabriel Landeskog scored a goal for Colorado, reportedly his second in consecutive games, and Martin Necas also scored. The Avalanche's victory was their fifth win in their last six games. The Ducks had reportedly won eight consecutive home games before this loss.
Landeskog is reportedly in good form after knee surgeries and a three-year rehabilitation, and he recently played in an Olympic tournament with the Swedish national team. The Avalanche are reportedly the league's top team in points and goal differential. The teams had split their two previous meetings this season.
Anaheim's next game is at home against the New York Islanders, and Colorado's next game is away against the Dallas Stars.
