Playing the lamb four times in the first period alone, Nathan McKinnon scored first on a breakaway wrist shot, and after Pittsburgh even did, the avalanche responded with three goals in under two minutes to take control. Meanwhile, the penguins fought back where they could. Chris Lattang earned an assist on one of their goals to hit his 800th NHL point milestone, a big moment for the veteran defenseman, Egor Chinacov, and Ricard Raquel also scored for Pittsburgh. A key turning point came in the second period when the penguins thought they had cut the

The avalanche now sit at 47 wins, 13 losses, and 10 overtime losses, building serious momentum.
