Avalanche Beat Flyers 3-2, Referee Injured

Cale Makar led the Colorado Avalanche to a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers by scoring two goals, bringing his season total to eight. Casey Mittelstadt contributed a goal and an assist, while Justus Annunen made 24 saves as Colorado won for the fourth time in five games. The Flyers, who had been on a three-game winning streak, saw Owen Tippett and Tyson Foerster score in a late-game push but couldn't equalize. The match was briefly interrupted when referee Mitch Dunning was stretchered off after colliding with Josh Manson, though he was reported to be communicative afterward. Makar's outstanding performance adds to his impressive season stats, now totaling 27 points in 19 games.
