Nikolai Kovalenko scored for the Avalanche (13-12-0), who have lost three of their past four games. Alexandar Georgiev made 28 saves in his second start in as many days. Georgiev started in Colorado’s 5-3 loss at the Dallas Stars on Friday.

Connor McDavid continued climbing the charts as Edmonton won for a third straight game and improved to 7-2-1 over its last 10 outings.
