#Sabres score first for 39th time in 71 games. They are 32-5-1 in the previous 38 games, second to #Avs (35-2-5) in victories when scoring first.

#Avs Gabe Landeskog missed three regular seasons because of a knee injury. His comeback story is incredible.

After broken ribs and “a 96-mile-per-hour slapshot in the nuts” … maybe the hockey gods could chill out a bit with adding new painful chapters.

Gabe Landeskog’s comeback story was remarkable enough. This is starting to feel like overkill.

The Denver Post

#Avs captain Gabe Landeskog said he “had a quick surgery to fix some things” after taking a shot from Cale Makar, well … “in the nuts.”

Also confirmed that he had broken ribs earlier this year after crashing into the net in South Florida.

An #Avs player on the ice today:

“Terrible. Terrible. Terrible … unless Marty Necas had the puck in overtime.”

After allowing late goal to Ovechkin, #Avs deliver win. They all matter with how much their lead has shrunk in standings over last 2 1/2 months

6-10*

Nelson from Necas. #Avs win 3-2

#Avs are 5-10 this year in games that need more than regulation to decide them.

The #Avs bench just went ballistic about a no-call in the offensive zone. One of the officials just went over to give them a warning.

They thought Landeskog's penalty was ... soft. And didn't like a similar no-call at the other end.

#Avs take another penalty with 6:03 left. The captain this time.

Fifth one of the game. Caps power play has looked pretty bad, but they're playing with fire. Best power-play shooter of all time is still out there.

Nic Roy has 3 goals in 9 games with the #Avs.

He had 5 in 59 games for the Maple Leafs.
