slot from Bo Horvat.

SAN JOSE -- Nathan MacKinnon scored twice with the man advantage as
Colorado went 4-for-6 on the power play to hand San Jose a fourth
straight home loss.
MacKinnon's 12th goal of the season came just 20 seconds into a
hooking penalty on Tommy Wingels to give Colorado its second
two-goal lead of the third period. San Jose took five stick-related
minors in the game, including four in the opening period when
Colorado struck twice on the power play.
The Sharks tried to mount a comeback by registering the first nine
shots of the third period. But instead of gaining the equalizer,
Brent Burns took a holding penalty. The Avalanche converted when
Blake Comeau scored his sixth of the season at 7:09 with just two
seconds left in the advantage.

Montreal trailed 1-0 midway through the shootout but got goals from
Brian Flynn and the game-winner from Max Pacioretty after goalie
Mike Condon stopped the Lightning's third shot from Nikita Kucherov.
