Necas Peppers Montréal's Net but Stays Off the Scoresheet

Martin Necas went without a point in Colorado's 4-1 win at Montréal, but he kept firing. He put 3 shots on goal in 18:44 of ice time over 20 shifts, with a hit and no giveaways.

That ice time was sixth among the Avalanche skaters and third among their forwards. All three shots came on the power play. At even strength he had no shots on goal, though he did attempt four. He finished even on plus/minus.

This was a quieter night than his season suggests. He arrived with 10 goals and 14 assists in 21 games, and he has scored on nearly a quarter of his shots (22.73 percent). He averages 19.9 minutes a night, so his workload was close to normal.

The team got its win without a point from him, and his shots never found the twine.
