Devon Toews - Logs assist in winToews logged an assist and one shot on goal over 22:52 of ice time in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Islanders.
ImpactBoth Toews and Mikko Rantanen were credited with assists, but the goal was all Cale Makar. During an offensive foray, a pass slipped by Makar at the point. As Makar gathered the loose puck in the neutral zone, Toews watched his blue line partner head toward the net, skate around several Islanders, then lift a backhander past Ilya Sorokin. It was the third assist and fourth point for Toews, who has the pleasure of being paired with one of the game's best players.

Tomas Tatar - Helps on game-winnerTatar had an assist, one blocked shot, two hits and four penalty minutes in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Islanders.
ImpactTatar did most of the work on what turned out to be the game-winning goal in the third period. Off a lost defensive-zone faceoff, the winger blocked an Adam Pelech shot from the point, then Tatar outskated the Islanders to the loose puck in the New York zone and fed Mikko Rantanen for the goal. Both Tatar and Rantanen remained on the second line after they were moved to that unit during Saturday's game. That line was on the ice for four of Colorado's seven strikes. Tatar, who is still looking for his first goal in an Avalanche uniform, has four assists through six games.
