The evening could not have gone any better. The Colorado Avalanche had one last celebration for the Stanley Cup winning season and then got back to work to do it all again.

The Avs never trailed in their 5-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks, and by the looks of it, you would have thought they just played Game 6 against the Tampa Bay Lightning last week. They were fast, crisp, and skating like they are primed and ready for a repeat.

Artturi Lehkonen scored twice and added an assist. Val Nichushkin also netted two goals while superstar Nathan MacKinnon was absolutely everywhere. The Avalanche used a lethal power play (4 for 6) and solid play from Alexander Georgiev game the Avs a comfortable victory.

Now they have to turn around and do it all again against a much more challenging Calgary Flames club Thursday night.
