  "account": "Nazem Kadri and Jaden Schwartz led the Colorado Avalanche to a 5-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night, marking the team's third consecutive win. The Avalanche improved their record against Chicago to 15-4-0 in their last 19 matchups. Devon Toews added an empty-net goal with 2:22 remaining, while Mackenzie Blackwood made 21 saves for Colorado.\n\nPatrick Kane left the game in the second period due to an unspecified injury, while defenseman Bowen Byram missed his eighth consecutive game with an upper-body injury. The Blackhawks took an early 2-0 lead with goals from defenseman Wyatt Kaiser and rookie Roman Kantserov. Connor Bedard added an assist on Kantserov's sixth goal on a 2-on-1 rush in the first period.\n\nThe Avalanche staged a remarkable comeback, scoring two goals within 26 seconds of Wyatt Kaiser's 2-on-1 goal. Nazem Kadri put the puck in the net at 15:23, and Jaden Schwartz scored from the left circle at 15:49. Colorado took the early lead after Bedard was sent off for holding Kadri at 13:10 in the second period. Kadri contributed to Colorado's second goal, deflecting Connor Bedard's wrist shot just inside the blue line.\n\nKadri has scored four goals this season, all in the last six games, while Schwartz has three goals and an assist in his last three outings. The Avalanche will face the Columbus Blue Jackets at home on Tuesday night, while the Blackhawks travel to play the Florida Panthers on Wednesday night.",
