PITTSBURGH--The Colorado Avalanche extended its point streak to six games but lost 3-2 in overtime to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night at PPG Paints Arena. The Avs and Buffalo Sabres are the only clubs in the NHL without a regulation loss in the 2019-20 campaign.
Matt Calvert opened the game's scoring with his first goal of the year early in the first period, and Nathan MacKinnon extended his season-opening point streak to six games with his third tally of the campaign. MacKinnon, who has nine points (three goals, six assists) on the season, buried a slick wrist shot on a 2-on-1 rush early in the third period to tie the contest at 2-2.
