Avalanche's Martin Necas: Two helpers in Tuesday's loss

Necas notched two assists in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

Necas has turned in back-to-back multi-point performances, as he's thrived since the trade that sent him west from Carolina. The 26-year-old actually led all Avalanche forwards in ice time Tuesday with 24:42, and with a spot alongside Nathan MacKinnon at even strength and on Colorado's top power-play unit, Necas' production could kick into overdrive. On the season, he's already racked up 16 goals and a career-high 59 points through 52 appearances.
