Oct 17 (The Sports Xchange) -
Highlights of National Hockey League games on Monday:
Avalanche 4, Penguins 3 (overtime)
The Colorado Avalanche not only showed they can keep up with the
Stanley Cup champions, they proved they can beat them at their own
game.
Colorado captain Gabriel Landeskog tied the score with a power-play
goal in the third period, then batted in a deflected Nathan
MacKinnon shot 22 seconds into overtime as the Avalanche dealt the
Pittsburgh Penguins their first loss of the season, 4-3 on Monday.
Bruins 4, Jets 1
The Boston Bruins showed off their superior special teams in
defeating the Winnipeg Jets 4-1, but their coach hopes they can make
things a little easier on him in the future.
Boston successfully killed off five penalties before the second
period was eight minutes old and rode the momentum throughout the
rest of the game.
Red Wings 5, Senators 1
Defenseman Mike Green's best days for creating offense may be behind
him, but he did something on Monday that he never accomplished
before.
Green posted his first career hat-trick to lead the Detroit Red
Wings to a 5-1 win against the Ottawa Senators at Joe Louis Arena.

Rangers 7, Sharks 4
General manager Jeff Gorton spent the offseason stockpiling
forwards, most of them known for their speed, to reinforce a
bottom-six group that had gone from strength to weakness in recent
years for the New York Rangers.
That depth and speed throughout the lineup helped thwart one of the
quicker teams in the NHL on Monday.
