Devon Toews has made his presence known in his first season with the Colorado Avalanche.
The defenseman already set a new career high for goals in a single campaign and has now matched his personal best for points in a season after scoring twice on Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings.
Toews and defensive partner Cale Makar provided the offense for the Avalanche in a 3-2 victory at Staples Center in downtown L.A. to help the team keep pace with the Vegas Golden Knights for the top spot in the West Division. Colorado trails Vegas by four points but owns a game in hand and controls its own destiny to take first place with the Avs and Knights set to face off on Monday.
