What happened: Jaden Schwartz and Svechkov each recorded their first goals for the Colorado Avalanche. The scoring sequence featured the two players connecting during the club's preseason action against the Flames.

Why it matters: Colorado is leaning on recent acquisitions to build out its forward depth ahead of the 2026-27 season. Early offensive production from the new additions provides a positive sign as the coaching staff evaluates options.

By the numbers: The Avalanche entered the matchup averaging 3.5 goals per game this season, while Calgary has allowed 4.3 goals per contest.

What to watch: Colorado will continue its preseason evaluations as the opening night roster takes shape.
