  "account": "Cale Makar delivered a standout performance for the Colorado Avalanche, notching two goals and an assist in their 7-3 triumph over the winless Calgary Flames on Thursday night. Devon Toews and Jaden Schwartz also found the back of the net twice each, contributing to the Avalanche's dominant display.\n\nNathan MacKinnon added to the Avalanche's attacking prowess by scoring a goal and providing two assists, helping the team bounce back from a 3-2 loss just the night before in Winnipeg. The Avalanche (3-1-0) showcased their resilience following the previous setback.\n\nIn his 200th career NHL game, goaltender Scott Wedgewood made 26 crucial saves, securing the win. For the Calgary Flames (0-4-0), which remains the only NHL team yet to record a point this season, Nathan MacKinnon scored and added two assists in a 7-3 loss to the Avalanche. The Flames have been outscored 23-6, giving them a league-worst minus-17 goal differential.",
