Colorado made a statement Saturday afternoon, shutting out Detroit 5–0 in a competitive win, despite what the scoreboard said.
The Avs and the Capitals each took turns in scoring. Victor Olofsson snuck a backhander by Lindgren after Brock Nelson won the o-zone faceoff to set it up. Then, the Caps responded in similar fashion when Ethen Frank snuck past the defense and swept the backhander by Wedgewood. It's a 3-2 game with two minutes to go in period two.
Nick Suzuki scored a pair of special-team goals in the first period in a three-point outing to lead the host Montreal Canadiens to a 7-3 beatdown of the struggling Colorado Avalanche on Thursday.

Jets score shorthanded late in the period and it's Morgan Barron. Winnipeg cleared the puck and Barron won the foot race and snuck the backhand by Wedgewood. Barron has scored in back-to-back games against the Avalanche and has registered points in three out of his last four against Colorado.
