10 Takeaways: Josh Manson Had a Career Night; Nelson Keeps Impressing (+)

Josh Manson’s dad, Dave, was in the crowd on Thursday when the Avalanche crushed the Ottawa Senators 8-2. Manson had two goals, two assists, a +5 rating, and a fight. It was the first four-point game of his career.

“I don’t think [my dad] has ever seen that before. He’s seen me fight. He’s maybe seen me score, but I don’t think he’s ever seen that. Well, actually, nobody’s ever seen that before in the NHL,” Manson joked. “So it was a first for everybody, including myself.”

From Manson’s performance, Samuel Girard’s fight, Brock Nelson’s continued dominance, and more.

The Avs unleashed two games of frustration into one night. Against a team that couldn’t withstand a smidge of what Colorado threw at them.
