The Avalanche did not reveal the specifics of his injury, but Bednar said he would be out for this series “if not longer.” “I’m the sure [the NHL] will take a look at it.” After the hit, which came just 1:04 into Game 3, Kane was given a five-minute major for boarding.

Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri is set to miss time after taking a "dangerous" hit from Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane.

If he’s indeed done for the postseason, Colorado will need a “by committee” approach to replace his contributions. Landeskog also called the hit “dangerous” and believes the NHL should review it for potential discipline. “The hit is the most dangerous play in hockey,” Bednar said.

Avalanche 4, Oilers 2 Edmonton Oilers gave what they had on Saturday night, but once again it wasn't enough to get the better of Colorado Avalanche.

Led the Oilers with 26:47 in ice time and 4 shots on goal, but for the second straight game struggled to find open ice . Put his team in a big hole when he was whistled for a 5-minute penalty for the above infraction vs. 3 shots on net with the Oilers controlling the flow of play during his minutes. But was one of the defensive culprits on the 2-1 when he lost a battle just inside Edmonton’s zone after a lost faceoff. The game-winner on the other hand was a shot that needed to be stopped and instead found the five-hole right along the ice. 2 shots on net including a good one after a terrific rush, but wasn’t able to create much off the pass. His 15:34 of ice time included 4:24 on the PK. Making a strong bid for a contract extension right here in his home town of Edmonton. But his game will be most remembered by the own-goal that tied the score 1-1 late in the first, as Nurse tried to cut off a slot pass only to have it carom past a flailing Smith and just inside the short side post. Provided both with 4 hits and 3:17 on the kill, nearly half of his total ice time of 6:40. Picked up 12 minutes in penalties in garbage time for a legit penalty and what appeared to be a somewhat bogus misconduct. Played a solid game in a middle 6 role, chipping in on 2 Grade A shots while allowing nothing the other way. A little lost at sea on the second Avs goal but hardly the major culprit on the play, though it was his careless icing off a clean possession that led to the d-zone faceoff in the first place. The Avalanche had a heavy advantage on the shot clock for the third straight game, this time 43-29 for a cumulative 130-90 through 3 games.

(AP) – Pavel Francouz took J.T. Compher off the hook for a penalty with a key save on Connor McDavid. A few seconds later, Compher took the life out of ...

“Val is a huge part of our team and our offensive game and our checking game and helps out in all areas of the game,” Landeskog said. It comes from everybody in the room — just a little bit more. Nichushkin scored on two fortunate deflections to give Colorado the lead. The Avalanche won titles in 1996 and 2001. In Game 3, he made the big stop on McDavid to keep it tied before Compher scored. “Frankie’s quick and got over there and made a great stop on it,” Colorado forward Nathan MacKinnon said.

Valeri Nichushkin scored a pair of goals and Colorado outlasted Edmonton 4-2 to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series.

In the first period alone, he broke up what looked like a golden scoring chance between Connor McDavid and Evander Kane, and he had a crucial blocked shot late in the period on a two-on-one. It was his second multi-assist game of the series, as he also had two assists in Game 1. The Avalanche needed some depth scoring to step up after Nazem Kadri was knocked out of the game after a nasty check from behind by Edmonton’s Evander Kane early in the first. Nichushkin’s second goal gave Colorado the lead early in the second, as he whipped in a shot from the slot. J.T. Compher had a brutal start to the postseason, but he’s one of the hottest players going right now. The Avs moved to 6-0 on the road in the postseason, downing the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 on Saturday in Game 3 of the Western Conference Final.
