The Colorado Avalanche has waited all season to be healthy. It finally happened, and the Avs put on a show.
Cale Makar set a career high with six points and the Avs scored on their first three power-play opportunities of the night en route to a 7-3 win Thursday night against the depleted San Jose Sharks at Ball Arena.
It was the fourth straight win for the Avalanche. Colorado is now 18-7 this season when Valeri Nichushkin is in the lineup and 19-7-2 when he is not.
The NHL trade deadline is 1 p.m. Friday, and the Avs already made another seismic move during this game.
