Petr Mrazek made 29 saves for the Blackhawks,
who have lost five straight (0-3-2) and 13 of their past 14
games (1-10-3).
Parise gave Colorado a 1-0 lead at 17:58 of the first period.
Jack Johnson pressured Anthony Beauvillier into a turnover along
the left wall in the Avalanche zone and got to the loose puck in
the neutral zone. Johnson took it to the top of the left circle
before sending a no-look pass to Parise, who quickly fired from
the opposite side.
Ross Colton scored on the power play to make it 2-0 at 6:56 of
the second period. Mrazek stopped Colton's initial shot from the
slot but couldn't smother it, and Colton collected the rebound
and snapped it over the sprawled netminder.
MacKinnon picked up his 539th career assist on the goal, moving
him past Peter Forsberg for third place in Avalanche/Quebec
Nordiques franchise history.
Parise's second goal of the night pushed the lead to 3-0 less
than a minute later. Mrazek came out of the blue paint to
challenge Ryan Johansen driving toward the net from the right
side. Johansen's attempt to tuck it in stayed just above the
goal line in the crease and Parise backhanded it in from the
other side at 7:38.
Devon Toews extended it to 4-0 with two seconds left in the
period. Makar's shot missed the net and rimmed around the end
boards to Mikko Rantanen along the left wall, where he fed a
backhand to a pinching Toews for a quick strike from the left
circle.
MacKinnon's team-leading 36th goal, a wrist shot short side from
the right circle, made it 5-0 at 17:32 of the third period.
