Luukkonen, playing in his 49th career NHL game and
making his 47th start, received a little help from the goalpost
midway through the third period when Nathan MacKinnon's backhand
shot caromed off it.
Alexandar Georgiev finished with 25 saves for Colorado. The
Avalanche began the season with six straight victories before having
their NHL-record, 15-game road winning streak snapped with a 4-0
loss at Pittsburgh on Thursday.
Capitals 3, Sharks 1
Tom Wilson recorded his 300th career point by scoring the go-ahead
goal late in the third period, lifting host Washington to a victory
over winless San Jose.
Washington's Dylan Strome scored his sixth goal in his last five
games and Evgeny Kuznetsov tallied into an open net.
San Jose's Luke Kunin scored a goal at 11:40 of the first period,
ending the team's scoreless drought at 163 minutes, 10 seconds.
Mackenzie Blackwood turned aside 39 shots for the Sharks (0-8-1),
who matched the worst start in franchise history.
