Valeri Nichushkin, Erik Johnson and Nicolas Aube-Kubel also
tallied for Colorado, which has scored 24 goals over its
four-game streak, all without injured star Nathan MacKinnon
(lower body).
Nazem Kadri and Tyson Jost added two assists apiece for the
Avalanche, who led 7-0 early in the third period. Kadri extended
his point streak to eight games (four goals, 11 assists).
Colorado goaltender Darcy Kuemper, acquired in an offseason
trade with Arizona after Philipp Grubauer signed as a free agent
with the expansion Kraken, made 25 saves.
Kuemper had his shutout bid end when Jordan Eberle scored a
power-play goal at 5:57 of the third period. That extended
Eberle's point streak to seven games (seven goals, three
assists).
Seattle's Brandon Tanev added a man-advantage goal at 8:30 of
the third, and Colin Blackwell stuffed a loose puck past Kuemper
at the left post at 15:12.

5:33 into the second period after allowing four goals on 13
shots. Grubauer went the rest of the way, stopping 14 of 17
shots.
Burakovsky opened the scoring with a power-play goal at 4:04 of
the first. Seattle's Jaden Schwartz tried to clear the puck from
the front of the net but put it right on Burakovsky's stick. The
Colorado winger sent a one-timer into the open side of the net.
Nichushkin made it 2-0 on a short-handed breakaway at 6:39 of
the first.
The Avalanche scored four times in the second to pull away.
Makar scored at 3:01, Burakovsky got another power-play goal at
5:33, Makar tallied again at 12:48 and Johnson scored at 17:17.
