Two Goals in 26 Seconds Help Avalanche Claw Back Against Blackhawks

November 3, 2026

The Colorado Avalanche overcame a 2-0 first-period deficit to storm back with five unanswered goals in a 5-2 road win over the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center. Nazem Kadri and Jaden Schwartz each scored twice, while Devon Toews added a goal and an assist to extend his point streak to five games.

T.J. Hughes chipped in with two assists, and Mackenzie Blackwood made 21 saves to secure the victory, posting a .914 save percentage over his last six starts.

The Avalanche’s penalty kill was flawless, shutting down all four of Chicago’s power plays, while physical play flared after Artyom Levshunov elbowed Cale Makar, prompting Gabriel Landeskog to retaliate repeatedly, including a notable hit that sent Levshunov to the ice. For Chicago, Roman Kantserov and Wyatt Kaiser scored the team’s two goals, while Spencer Knight turned aside 24 shots in a losing effort.
