The Colorado Avalanche, rattled by injuries and a subpar defensive performance, have not had an ideal start to the season.

Ross Colton scored twice and Cale Makar added one goal and two assists as the visiting Colorado Avalanche defeated the San Jose Sharks 4-1 on Sunday night.

Cale Makar had a goal and two assists to extend his point streak to six games (two goals, 10 assists) for the Avalanche (2-4-0), who have won two straight. MacKinnon had two assists to extend his point streak to six (two goals, nine assists).
