NHL Highlights | Devils vs. Avalanche – October 28, 2025

They’ve been getting points but not as many as they think they should be getting or as many obviously as they want. And we are underway here at Ball Arena as Valentin turns and fires. That puck is deflected up into the netting. Chushkin finds his defenseman. Here’s McDenna near circle dancing. Nowhere to go. Finds Marty Nes. They’ll trade that centering pass. Pump back to Nas. Fires up top. Mar looks. Nes one timer. He scores. Morton Nes short side. An absolute bomb inside the post. And the Abs have taken a one- nothing lead. Fernas’s seventh goal of the season. And the power play strikes early. He needed that. And this is great puck movement. But it all starts with Kale Mar selling the shot. He shot it earlier in the power play. He sells it again. Markstrom because it’s sold so well. He’s not able to get over and seal the post. And Marty Nes that whip on the stick up to the point. Nebs finds Seganthaler. That’s off the inboards. Nation at the post. Loose puck saved by Wedwood. It’s in the slot. The AS will bang it out. Grimley trying to use his legs to get out. Twoon one. Now it’s fired ahead. Shortov. He scores. Shakar Bikov. His first career National Hockey League goal. And the AS have taken a two nothing lead. What a play by Kelly and Barb was all by his load some three saves here. Mason wraps it around. There’s one. There’s a second and a third. Are on a break. Threeon two. Fantastic puck movement and going seven hole on Jacob Marstrom. Bartacov looking like a 30 goal scorer especially after 3 years out of the game. Essentially just training and rehabbing the entire time. Not to mention not being on the ice for a good portion of that. Here’s Nushka. pulls up looking for a trailer. Shoots, stopped by Colton. Another opportunity. What a save by Markstrom. And that puck is between his pads. It got knocked loose behind the net, but the W play. It’s so underrated cuz you knew the Devil’s defenseman was hunting and he had to take a big one to make that play. By the way, Riker have been working on that. You have been Your arms look good. The love handles still need work though. And as those plays start to come more for Gabe Landisk, the comfortability factor is only going to increase. You see Lannisk and Olison at the front of the net both trying to get tips on it and that just barely clears the cross. Here comes Olison wrist score. Poor Victor Olison top shelf his first goal in a Colorado sweater and the ABS have taken a three nothing lead. It’s a thing of beauty. All started by Gabot in the fourth quarter. Gets it up and Olen gets sprung on a threeon two. just takes it and 27 shocks later, the man who’s just been snake bit all season long who they call Goison buries his first in an Avalanche uniform. What a beauty. Johnny Marstrom comes up big with the glove. Here’s Mar. McKinnon fake the one-time. Maret one-time over the top of the net. Just under a minute to go in the five on three. McKinnon tries again. Score Nathan Min too hard for Marstrom to handle. Absolutely ripped it through the five hole and the ABS have taken a four nothing lead. Two for three on the power play of the season. The five on three can be such a momentum swing if the penalty killers can kill it off. It can turn the tide. And if the power play can get one, especially this early in the five on three. Now a minute three left. Very well could be Riker. And again, Joe Sacking in his brilliant Hall of Fame career. Uh-oh. Watch out. Here comes Kelly in a deep move. He scores. Parker Kelly. Hands of Angel. A little backhand flip inside the post. Butter my button. Call me a biscuit. What a play by Parker Kelly. It’s a five nothing lead. That’s my favorite goal call of the year by you. What a pass by Brent Burns all the way to the far blue line and Ross Colton, man is he playing well. Spins up and feeds Parker Kelly. A little fake shot. Jacob Marstrom going, “What else can I do?” Landiscott was cutting hard to the front of the net and had a teammate try to find him on the near side. Landis that tipped away. Turns jams it off the leg. Watch out. Nason shoots and he scores. Stephan Nason rips it inside the far post to make it a 51 game. These are the ones you just can’t give being up 5 nothing in the second period. It’s a deflection off a stick and all of a sudden just a walking down Main Street. Stefon Nason. It’s a beautiful shot, but out of seemingly nothing, all of a sudden, Devils have a little bit of life. Only beat Austin and New Jersey as Jack Hughes gives it off. His brother look for this shot. That twig is dust. Hamilton shoots. Saved by Winwood. Loose P score out of midair. Douggee Hamilton makes it a 52 game as he followed up his own shot down deep and out of midair able to poke it home. big 6’6 Doug Hamilton. There’s the pass right across. Here comes the quick shot and then as you mentioned picks up the rebound from the glove. Oh, you got to have length to be able to pull that off. That’s quite remarkable, guys. It’s up. Here comes the right glove and he’s going to reach out the stick with one hand. My goodness, that was impressive. Sometimes you just got to tip your cap cuz this is a headsy play. Team Omire made a really nice play there when the car starts to drag like that and then tries to get that one through. Watch out. Push down deep. Score. Oh no. The New Jersey Devils with three unanswered have made it a five to3 game as Dawson Mercer was all by his load in the low slot. Fellas, I didn’t see this coming. Three goals and I’m not sure how much time. Everybody’s in good position here. And then just that little deflection across. There’s the play right there. And that one kind of gets Mar and then Mercer gets a wide open net on the back pass. And what was the walk in the park now as a five nothing lead is evaporated. Watch out. Here comes Hughes in. He’ll drop it off for Brad to Hughes. He scores and everything has fallen apart in the second period. It’s now a five-4 game as Jack Hughes scores his third goal in two games against the ABS. That was absolutely clinical. A little drop far side one time on the back door. Went’s got zero chance. You see the talent of Hughes. This is shocking off. But now why you see why New Jersey is one of the top teams in the East had everything going their way. Five straight tallies. Back to the point it goes to Marson back to Mar. McKinnon one-time. He scores. Nathan McKinnon an absolute rocket. Pass Marshall for his second goal of the game. And McKinnon wasted no time rocking it for this night. We’re saying how exhausted we were after the Nordique Hartford game the other night with eight goals. Well, now we got 10. What better way to answer after New Jersey gets four and 404 and he’ll deliver back off the boards. Brimley makes the steal. Brinley is in. Gavin Brinley trying to wrap around quick shot save by Marstrom. Oh, he robbed Baracov. Point blade with a blocker. Boricov would have had his second of the game, second of his career. Let’s take a look. Barov’s right there. Nobody’s on him and he just can’t get it out over the blocker or under you pick. This is a tremendous save. I mean you talk about wide open play. Mark 5 nothing lead evaporated. It was 54 then 64 on McKinnis power play goal. Johnny what said in the room in those moments? Well this is a kill and go scenario. You got a minute two left on the kill. That puck movement alleviated off the iron from Nuskin in the bumper. Sorry there Johnny. All good Mo. That puck movement alleviated the pressure. All of a sudden they couldn’t force quite as hard. Olson scores. A wrist shot from the far circle and the ABS have taken a seven-4 lead for Victor Olson the post and Victor Olivesson. You said it Moj when this guy gets going. Two goals, two assists on the night, nine points on the season in 11 games. What a signing. He’s starting to feel it. He’s starting to get comfortable. And this top unit is clicking. Brock Nelson, his forcheing is underrated. I didn’t realize what a good forch checker he is. And he creates so many turnovers. Stolen away by Dr. gives it up. Shot score. Victor Olivesson. The hattick. He gets it. His first career National Hockey League hatrick. And boy, did he do it tonight. Everybody’s thinking it. And what a play by Jack Drury. He’s got Gabe Lannisk driving the net, but he finds Victor Olivesson trailing the play right on his tape. And look at that crowd here at Ball Arena on their feet, those that are left as the ABS come home for the one game home stand, get revenge on the New Jersey Devils, and tonight double them up. [Music]

Victor Olofsson scored his first NHL hat trick and added two assists, Nathan MacKinnon scored a pair of goals with an assist, and Cale Makar tallied four helpers to lead the Colorado Avalanche to an 8-4 win against the New Jersey Devils.
