Apr 2, 2025; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Blackhawks center Frank Nazar (91) and Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar (8) battle for control of the puck during the first period at United Center. Mandatory Credit: Talia Sprague-Imagn Images Artturi Lehkonen scored the decisive goal in a shootout and Cale Makar had a goal and assist in regulation as the visiting Colorado Avalanche rallied for a 3-2 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday.
Colorado forced overtime with 10.8 seconds left in regulation, as Martin Necas deflected in Cale Makar’s shot from inside the right point with play at six-on-five.
Scott Wedgewood made 22 saves for the Avalanche, who trailed 2-0 before Makar scored near the midpoint of the third period.
Colorado (46-26-4, 96 points) remained in No. 3 position in the Central Division, six points behind the second-place Dallas Stars and seven points clear of both the Minnesota Wild and the St. Louis Blues.
The Avalanche have six games remaining.
Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon scored to cap the second round of the shootout, but Teuvo Teravainen answered for Chicago. Lehkonen ended the game moments later by beating Blackhawks goaltender Spencer Knight.
Connor Murphy had a goal and assist for the Blackhawks, and Ilya Mikheyev also tallied. Knight stopped 29 shots.
The Blackhawks (21-44-10, 52 points), who have fewer points than all but one club in the NHL, split four games against the Avalanche this season.
Mikheyev scored a short-handed goal at 14:39 of the first period, keeping the puck on a two-on-one opportunity with Frank Nazar and beating Wedgewood.
Murphy registered his second goal this season and first since Dec. 15 at 8:17 of the second, burying a slap shot from just outside the right circle off a backhand pass from Connor Bedard.
Makar drew Colorado within 2-1 at 9:17 of the third period, finishing MacKinnon’s feed from behind the net with a wrist shot from the right circle.
The Avalanche finished 0-for-4 on the power play due in part to multiple strong saves from Knight, including big stops on MacKinnon and Lehkonen on a second-period penalty kill.
Chicago was unable to secure an insurance goal on separate power plays over the final 7:19 of the game.
Avalanche forward Jonathan Drouin sustained a lower-body injury after being hit along the boards in the first period, and he didn’t return.
Makar established a career high with his 29th goal.

Prospect Watch: How every MLB team’s No. 1 prospect has fared so far in 2025
Believe it or not, the midway point of Major League Baseball's season is just around the corner. Between that and the upcoming amateur draft -- CBS Sports' coverage of which began yesterday with our top-30 ranking -- this feels like the opportune time to offer a progress report on how some of the game's best young players are faring so far in 2025.With that in mind, below I've offered thoughts and analysis on each organization's player who I ranked No. 1 in their offseason prospect lists. Got it? Good, let's get down to business.It hasn't been a fun few years for Lawlar. He debuted late in 2023 and didn't perform well over a 14-game cameo. He then missed most of last season because of thumb and hamstring injuries. Lawlar only recently returned to The Show, but he went 0 for 19 […]
Re-enter the NFL Draft? How Shemar Stewart could use CBA loophole to create nightmare situation for Bengals
When it comes to rookie contracts in the NFL, there isn't usually too much negotiation involved. Thanks to the collective bargaining agreement from 2011, every draft contract is essentially slotted due to the rookie wage scale, which means each player knows how much they're going to make as soon as they get drafted. What this means is that negotiating a rookie contract shouldn't be that difficult, well, unless you're the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals seem to invent new ways to frustrate their fans (and players) every year, and that's once again happening this year. The team's first-round draft pick, Texas A&M pass rusher Shemar Stewart, showed up at OTAs, but he didn't participate in a single workout this spring because he still hasn't signed his contract. He also showed up for the first two days of minicamp during a whirlwind 48 hours […]
Bryce Underwood, Dakorien Moore among college football freshmen poised to make impact in 2025 season
The college football offseason storylines are no longer dominated with intel on how freshmen look in spring practice or fare in summer workouts. Most of the attention has turned to transfers and their place on the depth chart. But that doesn't mean freshmen won't help shape the 2025 college football season.After all, what would Ohio State have been last year without superstar Jeremaih Smith? You could say the same of Alabama with Ryan Williams or Florida with DJ Lagway. There are always freshmen who emerge as impact players. With spring practice behind us and fall camp coming up quickly, let's look at some freshmen poised to provide major production (and in some cases, blossom into superstars) during the 2025 season. College football's summer agenda: One area every top 25 team must address for success in 2025 Brad Crawford Underwood is […]
