This win extends Colorado&#8217;s winning streak to eight consecutive games, marking their best performance since the nine-game winning streak achieved between March 4 and March 24, 2024.\n\nThe Avalanche consolidate their position as the team with the best record in the NHL, leading by five points over the Carolina Hurricanes, who are in second place.\n\nJuuse Saros, Predators&#8217; goalie, made 23 saves, but couldn&#8217;t prevent his team&#8217;s defeat, which has lost seven of its last eight games. This match marked the Predators&#8217; return to North America after playing two games of the Global Series against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Stockholm, Sweden. The Predators suffered their second consecutive shutout.\n\nThe shutout was the first of the season and the 15th of Blackwood&#8217;s career. Despite being outshot by the Avalanche in the first period (16-6), the Predators failed to overcome Blackwood&#8217;s solid defense.\n\nThe first goal of the match came just 15 seconds after the start, courtesy of Brent Burns.\n\nAfter a dispute in the right corner, the puck reached Burns, who from the right circle connected a wrist shot that beat Saros.\n\nThe score remained at 1-0 until MacKinnon scored an empty-net goal with 1:35 remaining in the third period, with Saros out of the net for an extra attacker. Drury added another empty-net goal with 51 seconds left.\n\nMacKinnon has scored three goals in his last two games.\n\nCale Makar, Colorado defenseman, failed to register any points in an away game for the first time this season.\n\nThis was only the fifth game of the season in which an opponent outshot the Avalanche. Colorado maintains a perfect record of 5-0-0 in those meetings.\n\nBlackwood frustrated Nashville&#8217;s Michael McCarron with a crucial save at 5:47 of the third period, keeping the Predators scoreless.\n\nPredators captain Roman Josi returned to the lineup after missing 12 games due to an upper-body injury.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avalanche Crushes Predators with a Solid Performance by Blackwood Mackenzie Blackwood shone with 35 saves, leading the Colorado Avalanche to a dominant 3-0 victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night.
