No. 1 Avalanche goaltender Philipp Grubauer was sidelined due to COVID-19 protocol. Mikko Rantanen and J.T. Compher each had a goal and an assist for Colorado, Brandon Saad and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare also scored and Liam O'Brien recorded two assists.

Jets 3, Senators 2

Mathieu Perreault and Trevor Lewis led a third-period surge on special teams as Winnipeg won at Ottawa.

With the score tied 1-1 at 2:07 of the third frame, Perreault converted a delayed wrist shot from the circle for a power-play goal. Ottawa looked to equalize on a power play of its own midway through the period, except Lewis capitalized on a turnover to score a short-handed goal.

Mark Scheifele scored the Jets' other goal as Winnipeg improved to 8-3-1 over its last 12 games. Laurent Brossoit made 27 saves for the win. Nick Paul and Josh Norris scored for Ottawa, and Thomas Chabot had two assists. Senators goalie Matt Murray returned from a 14-game injury absence and stopped 32 shots.

Ducks 4, Sharks 1

Alexander Volkov and Derek Grant each had a goal and an assist, and Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Ducks, whose only wins in the past eight games have come in San Jose.

Erik Karlsson scored a six-on-five goal at 17:44 of third period to spoil Stolarz's chance for a second straight shutout. Josef Korenar made his first NHL start for the Sharks and finished with 23 saves.
