Colorado’s revamped line of Nazem Kadri, Gabriel Landeskog and Nicolas Roy powered a 6-3 win over Toronto, scoring twice to restore the lead and deliver the game-winner. The line’s physical forechecking and puck control offered a promising blueprint as the Avalanche look to build consistency.

By the Numbers
  • Colorado won 6-3.
  • The new line scored 2 goals.
  • The Avalanche have won 5 of their last 7 games, including 2 straight.
  • Kadri ended a 9-game losing streak against Toronto.
Yes, But

The performance was a strong sign of the line’s potential, but one game doesn’t establish a lasting identity. Colorado is still seeking consistency after an uneven start.

State of Play
  • Landeskog scored both goals created by the new line, including the third-period winner off Kadri’s pass.
  • Coach Jared Bednar wants the trio to define itself through physical play, puck battles and pressure around the net.
  • Colorado’s veteran leaders, including Landeskog, Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar, remain central to the team’s push for consistency.
What’s Next

Bednar plans to keep developing the line’s identity. If its forechecking and net-front pressure carry over, the trio could become a dependable source of offense.

Bottom Line

The win was more than a rebound against Toronto: it showed how a physical, complementary line could help Colorado turn puck possession into timely goals.
