MON vs COL Preview
Last Meeting ( Mar 22, 2025 ) Colorado 5, Montreal 4
The Colorado Avalanche's winning streak ended at 10 games, however their run of consecutive contests with at least a point continued after a 3-2 shootout loss on Friday afternoon.
The Avalanche still have just one regulation loss this season, and they don't have time to dwell on their winning streak ending. They host the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday afternoon to complete a back-to-back set.
Montreal also is playing its second game in as many days but heads into Denver after recording a 3-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday.
It was the first game defenseman Mike Matheson played since signing a five-year, $30 million contract extension with the club. He had an assist in Friday's game, which was Montreal's third win in a row after a 1-4-3 stretch.
The Canadiens, who started this win streak with a home victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs last Saturday, squeaked by the Utah Mammoth on Wednesday on a late goal by captain Nick Suzuki.
Suzuki set up a goal on Friday to add to his team-leading totals in assists (20) and points (27).
"I'm just trying to do my best out there," Suzuki said. "I get to play with a lot of great players every single night and you know they've helped me get to where I am today so I'm definitely grateful for that."
Montreal has six players with 15 or more points, including leading goal-scorer Cole Caufield, who netted his 14th of the season on Friday. He is second on the team in scoring with 25 points and is the only player with more than seven goals.
Colorado likely will face goaltender Jakub Dobes, who is 8-2-2 with a 2.89 goals-against average in 12 games.
The Avalanche most likely have Mackenzie Blackwood in net after Scott Wedgewood was in the crease against the Minnesota Wild on Friday. Minnesota scored 12 minutes into the second period, ending a combined shutout streak of more than 220 minutes.
Blackwood had two of those shutouts, stopping 61 shots in the two games. He is starting to look like the No. 1 goaltender after making his season debut on Nov. 1.
That was the last loss for Colorado until Friday, but its point streak extended to 15 games (12-0-3) heading into Saturday.
The Avalanche needed a late goal by captain Gabriel Landeskog to extend Friday's game past regulation, and it went to a shootout, where they are now 0-3 on the season.
"Shootout, you can flip a coin. Overall, a really good road effort from our team, big point, move on and get ready for (Saturday) against Montreal," Colorado coach Jared Bednar said.
The Avalanche have won seven straight games on home ice and are 9-0-2 overall there.
Nathan MacKinnon, who assisted on Landeskog's goal, leads the NHL in goals (19) and points (41).
Cale Makar also got an assist on Friday and leads all defensemen with 31 points (nine goals, 22 assists).
