Avalanche Stay Unstoppable With Gritty Comeback Win in Vegas
If you’re looking for a game that perfectly captures why the Colorado Avalanche are being talked about as one of the most dangerous teams in the NHL right now, this matchup in Vegas pretty much said it all. The Avalanche walked into T-Mobile Arena riding a hot streak, and by the end of the night, it was clear that momentum wasn’t about to slow down anytime soon.
Coming into the game, Colorado was already sitting at the top of the league with an eye-popping record and an NHL-leading point total. Even though Nathan MacKinnon’s eight-game point streak had quietly come to an end earlier in the week, it barely mattered. The team continued to find ways to win, and that depth was on full display against the Golden Knights.

Vegas struck first and carried a lead into the second period, despite Colorado controlling long stretches of play. Chances were created, shots were generated, but the Avalanche found themselves trailing anyway. Still, it felt like only a matter of time before the pressure paid off. That breakthrough finally arrived in the second period, as Colorado responded with a flurry of goals that swung momentum back and forth in a fast, chaotic stretch of hockey.
The Golden Knights refused to fade quietly. They answered with quick strikes of their own and entered the third period with a lead, feeding off the home crowd. But this is where the Avalanche have separated themselves all season. Instead of panicking, the game was patiently brought back within reach. Goals were chipped away at, plays were extended, and eventually, the equalizer was forced.
Late drama followed, as Vegas once again jumped ahead in the closing minutes. With the goalie pulled and the pressure dialed up, Colorado’s persistence was rewarded. The tying goal was buried with the extra attacker on the ice, sending the game into overtime and silencing much of the building.
Overtime came and went without a winner, setting up a shootout that had been a problem area for Colorado earlier in the season. This time, though, the script was flipped. The Avalanche converted when it mattered most, and timely saves were delivered at the other end to seal a hard-earned shootout victory.
With the win, Colorado extended its winning streak to seven games and continued a remarkable run of consistency, having picked up points in nearly every game over the past two months. It was another reminder that even on nights when stars are kept quiet or things don’t go perfectly, this Avalanche team has answers. And right now, that might be the scariest thing for the rest of the league.
