The Colorado Avalanche dominated the St. Louis Blues in a 6-1 victory at Denver on Saturday night. Nicolas Roy and Martin Necas scored back-to-back goals just 23 seconds apart during the second period, contributing to Colorado's four-goal outburst in that frame alone. Necas finished with two goals and an assist, continuing his strong start after achieving his first 100-point season last year. Nathan MacKinnon added three assists to his tally, bringing his total points to five across the Avalanche’s first two games of the season. Cale Makar also contributed a goal in the first period; he recently signed an eight-year contract extension worth $163.2 million. Despite St. Louis' strong opening game with a 4-0 win over Dallas, they struggled against Colorado's fast-paced attack, compounded by goaltender Jordan Binnington's struggles that resulted in six goals allowed—matching his performance from New Year’s Eve last year when the Avalanche also won 6-1.
