Nathan MacKinnon isn’t quite ready to give up his spot on the throne to the young bucks just yet.

Plus, the PWHL returns to Denver.

Ball Arena will host two PWHL takeover games this season, Jan. 25 and March 15.

Gavin Brindley wins it in overtime. Avs first win after regulation.

They did it.
I just don't know how you take Gavin Brindley out of this lineup even after Logan O'Connor returns.

He's been tremendous.

Burns with another one of his shot-passes right on the stick of Artturi Lehkonen, who makes it 3-2.

Brindley with some great work at the defensive blueline to get the transition game started.

Tyson Barrie is on the Canucks broadcast wearing a suit jacket that just has photos of him and Nathan MacKinnon on the inside of it.

Barrie officiated MacKinnon's wedding this summer and said Nate gave it to him and the groomsmen.

The Avs have 5 shots on goal since MacKinnon’s second goal at 8:10 of the first period.

The Canucks have 20.

Avs have been incredibly sloppy since MacKinnon’s second goal and it costs them again.

Tie game

Both Cale Makar and Quinn Hughes are special. The skating ability each possess is mesmerizing.

Both have already had special moments in this period.
November 10, 2025 at 3:34 AM
MacKinnon ain’t gonna let these young bucks take over the league just yet.

That’s 2…2-0.
November 10, 2025 at 3:24 AM
Canucks just sat back and let Cale Makar skate it 180 feet. Dishes to Nichushkin, who feeds MacKinnon for an easy 1-0 goal.

Wow. I don’t think that shot is legal.

8-1 Avs, MacKinnon

Kelly scored twice in Calgary with a bunch of family there last season and he’s got two tonight.

6-1
November 9, 2025 at 4:44 AM
Make it 5-0 and the fourth line does it again. Kelly gets this one and two point nights for both Bardakov and Brindley.
November 9, 2025 at 4:29 AM
That was a wild defensive play by Brent Burns. Draisaitl looked gone.
November 9, 2025 at 4:17 AM
Gavin Brindley makes it 3-0. Malinski did a nice job to just get the puck on net from the point. Good work by Bardakov on the boards as well.

It was a bold strategy by the Oilers to kill the Avs vibe by sending them to the power play but it worked.
November 9, 2025 at 3:54 AM
I would cover Cale Makar, personally.

2-0, double Makar
November 9, 2025 at 3:41 AM
Stay out of this, refs.

Per Jared Bednar, Sam Girard won't play or travel with the team this weekend.

Remarkable the Broncos are 7-2. Watching them is painful at least 75% of the time.
