Avalanche Defeat Sharks 4-1 for Second Win

The Colorado Avalanche secured their second consecutive victory by defeating the San Jose Sharks 4-1, with Ross Colton scoring twice, bringing his total to six goals for the season. Justus Annunen made 25 saves in his first start, showcasing improved goaltending after recent struggles. Cale Makar contributed with an empty-net goal and two assists, while Joel Kiviranta also scored, making it a solid offensive performance for Colorado. Despite the Avalanche being outshot 26-22, they effectively capitalized on their scoring opportunities early on. The Sharks, still winless this season, managed only one goal from William Eklund and continued their poor performance on the power play. As the Avalanche navigate injuries among their forwards, Colton's standout performances provide a silver lining in their early-season challenges.
