Fun fact about Gabriel Landeskog, who is playing in game 800: He has spent 90% (718/800) of his NHL games as a captain with the Avalanche and will finish with the sixth-most points among all players through the milestone contest behind Sakic, Goulet, MacKinnon, Hejduk and A. Stastny.

I told Aarif pregame that this stat was premature. Not now: The Avalanche can become the fifth team in NHL history to score eight or more goals in each of their first two games of a season. They would join the 1985-86 Flames, 1978-79 Canucks, 1975-76 Canadiens and 1917-18 Arena (all 2 GP).

Landeskog beats Binnington to the puck behind the net and Necas has an open net backhander to make it 6-0.

0210

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 23h

Kelly drops the puck to Roy in the left circle and the latter fires short side. 5-0.

Binnington tries to toss it up the middle and Artturi Lehkonen bats it out of mid-air and scores his 3rd goal in 92 minutes of hockey this season. 4-0.

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 23h

Manson makes it 3-0 with a blast from the point that was deflected once, if not twice, by Blues players.

Makar now has 137 career goals since debuting in 2019-20, which are 26 more than the next-closest defenseman during that span: Roman Josi: 111.

0171

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Lehkonen knocks down an exit attempt to MacKinnon at the right wall, and he finds Necas all alone in the left circle for the far-side snapper.

MacKinnon to Necas to Makar, and it's 1-0. That's a $43 million goal.

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Makar makes it 1-0 at the end of a tic-tac-toe type of passing play.

Binnginton just robbed Schwartz bigly in front.

Blackwood is indeed the starter for the Avalanche this evening.

090

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Binnington will start for the Blues, per Montgomery. Dube will slot in for Toropchenko, who is out with an upper-body injury, and Zach Dean will slot in for Ross Johnston.

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

L'Heureux is OUT tonight, per Bednar. He's hoping both guys will get into the lineup during the upcoming back-to-back set.

0100

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Optional for Avs today. No morning skate for the Blues after a win in Dallas. Expect Blackwood and Binnington tonight. L'Heureux could be in for Avs. We'll see what Bednar says.

160

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

L'Heureux could be an option for the Avs tomorrow. He practiced in a non-contact jersey, and Bednar said they’d see how he feels tomorrow. O’Connor didn’t stay the whole time.

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Shesterkin scored the first goalie goal in the history of the New York Rangers. 🤯

0150

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

MacKinnon said Clarke said a word to him that he didn’t like, and he initiated the challenge as a result. Didn’t totally confirm or deny that some of that was spillage from last season and postseason.

Nathan MacKinnon is fighting Brandt Clarke.

Sick of having to answer questions about one full season and two postseasons of a missing-in-action power play, the Avalanche have unleashed a monster on the man advantage tonight. They have scored THREE power-play goals AND allowed TWO shorthanded goals.

1262

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Trevor Moore scored shorthanded, and Artturi Lehkonen then scored a PPG. It's still the second period. 6-3 Avs.

0120

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Roy gets on the board after clubbing home a loose puck during a goalmouth scramble. 5-2 Avs.

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Armia cuts it to 3-2 with a wrist shot from above the right circle that went short side.

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Parker kelly tied it 1-1 just three seconds after killing off a minor on Devon Toews. He let a no-look, short-side snapper go off the right post.

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Dumoulin ties it 1-1 with a writer from the left circle that went through a screen from Turcotte and far side.

Brock Nelson finished a cross-crease pass from Jaden Schwartz at the left side of the net to make it 1-0 Avs (on the power play).

Joe Sakic said the Jared Bednar contract came together quickly. They hashed it out during camp. Sakic mentioned not wanting Jared to have the distraction of a looming contract expiration, and having to answer about it, throughout the year as a motivating factor.

Nothing on Kuemper from Laviolette, but Joel Edmundson will play.

040

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Joel Edmundson (undisclosed) and Corey Perry (personal) are both here with the Kings. They were roster questions ahead of today's skate.

030

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Darcy Kuemper was in the starter's net and was first off for the Kings. Expect him to start, but we'll see what Laviolette says.

Mackenzie Blackwood appears to be the starter for the Avalanche, which isn't a surprise given what Jared Bednar has said about him through preseason.

0110

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Los Angeles Kings are in town and there are COSM cameras set up ahead of opening tonight. I bet live hockey at COSM is wild.

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The Avalanche extended head coach Jared Bednar for another four years this morning.

Ryan Boulding ❌👑 @rboulding.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

This EDM/VAN game is exactly the kind of early season defense I expected on Day 1.
