New York Islanders at Colorado Avalanche
· National Hockey LeagueNelson's 2 goals lifts Islanders to 6-2 win over Avalanche in Patrick Roy's return to Colorado
Roy won two of his four Stanley Cup wins with Colorado and coached the team for three years before stepping down a month before training camp in 2016.
Anthony Duclair, Kyle Palmieri, Anders Lee and Mathew Barzal also scored for the Islanders, and Ilya Sorokin stopped 32 shots.
Calum Ritchie got his first NHL goal and Casey Mittelstadt also scored for Colorado, which has dopped its first three games Alexandar Georgiev made 32 saves.
Avalanche: Georgiev played better but a couple of his miscues led directly to the first two New York goals. Lee scored when he didn’t keep his skate against the right post and his failed attempt at a poke check gave Palmieri an open net.
NYI lead series 1-0
