Colorado was not whistled for a penalty, while Calgary took three — two on a double-minor late in the third period.

The Avalanche, who lost defenceman Josh Manson for two months after he injured an ankle against the Devils, saw Nelson exit in the second when he took a shot by Makar off the side of his helmet.

Nelson, who scored earlier in the period, was able to skate to the bench and down the tunnel. He returned in the third period.

Nelson capped a three-goal burst in the first 10 minutes of the second that gave Colorado a 4-0 lead. Farabee scored 1:43 after Nelson’s goal, and Pospisil made it 4-2 when he scored 1:59 into the third.

Lehkonen deflected Makar’s shot from the point at 4:09 to make it 5-2.

Two of Blackwood’s stops came after MacKinnon made it 1-0 late in the first. Blackwood made a sprawling glove save on Matt Coronato with 8.5 seconds left in the period and then stopped Farabee 12 seconds into the second.
