Necas Sets Up Two Goals, but Avalanche Fall in Nashville

Martin Necas did his part in a game Colorado lost 6-2 at Nashville. He finished with two assists, both at even strength, and was plus 1 in a night the Avalanche were outscored badly.

He played 19:09 over 21 shifts, sixth among the team's 18 skaters and second among its 12 forwards. He did not get a shot on goal, though he had one shot attempt at even strength and one on the power play. He added two hits, a giveaway and two penalty minutes. The power play produced no points for him.

For the season, Necas has 6 goals and 10 assists in 12 games, so two helpers is in line with how he has produced. The lack of shots is the departure: he has put 24 on net this year. Nashville entered at 3-3-4 and sitting in the fifth wild-card spot, and the 6-2 final dropped Colorado to 6-5-1 on the season.

A good night for Necas on the scoresheet, a bad one for the team around him.
