Andre Burakovsky provided all the offense in the Colorado Avalanche’s 3-2 win over the Florida Panthers at Ball Arena.
It was the first hat trick of Burakovsky’s NHL career. Mikko Rantenen assisted on all three goals while Nathan MacKinnon collected two helpers.
After beating the Arizona Coyotes on Friday to end a seven-game road losing streak, the Cats rallied in the third, but fell short of coming up with a second straight win away from Sunrise.
Sergei Bobrovsky and Darcy Kuemper kept things scoreless until Burakovsky opened the scoring with a power-play goal with 23 seconds left in the second period.
