The Colorado Avalanche, rattled by injuries and a subpar defensive performance, have not had an ideal start to the season. But as they’ve won two straight after dropping their first four, the lineup shuffling has opened the door for a potential breakout season for Ross Colton.

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).

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.
