Save for the first five-plus minutes, the Avalanche on Saturday night was again dominant for the second consecutive game at Ball Arena.
The San Jose Sharks produced the first eight shots and gained the early lead just 3:17 in before Colorado found its rhythm and put four consecutive shots behind goalie Adin Hill.
The result was a 6-2 Avalanche victory, much like Thursday’s 7-1 rout over the Vancouver Canucks, and capped an impressive sweep of the two-game homestand.
The Avs, who were without injured top-line center Nathan MacKinnon for the second straight game, got multiple-point performances from second-line center Nazem Kadri (goal, two assists) and defenseman Sam Girard (three assists, empty-net goal).
