Avalanche Extend Winning Streak to Six Games with 4-1 Win Over Islanders
17 Nov
Summary
- Avalanche score twice in 1:19 span in 2nd period
- Avalanche honor former coach Patrick Roy during game
- Islanders' Heineman scores early, but Avalanche rally for victory
On November 17, 2025, the Colorado Avalanche continued their impressive run, defeating the New York Islanders 4-1 to extend their winning streak to six games. The Avalanche, who lead the NHL standings, overcame an early deficit to secure the victory.
The Islanders struck first when Emil Heineman scored just over two minutes into the game. However, the Avalanche quickly responded, with Ross Colton and Victor Oloffson scoring within a 1:19 span in the second period to give the home team the lead. Brock Nelson pulled one back for the Islanders, but Martin Necas sealed the win with an empty-net goal in the final minute.
The game also featured a special moment as the Avalanche honored their former head coach, Patrick Roy, who began his Hall of Fame career with the Canadiens before being traded to Colorado in 1995. Roy led the Avalanche to their first Stanley Cup title that season and later guided the team to a second championship in 2000-01 before retiring in 2003.
The Avalanche's victory extends their point streak to nine games, as they continue to dominate the league. The Islanders, who had won the first four games of their seven-game road trip, suffered their first loss on the journey.
