DENVER (AP) β€” Nathan MacKinnon and Matt Duchene scored 1:28 apart late in the third period, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Calgary Flames 6-3 on Tuesday night.

Duchene broke out of a seven-game scoring slump with two goals, and Jarome Iginla also had a pair of goals for Colorado. Iginla added an assist against his former team.

The game was tied when MacKinnon scored from the slot at 13:01 of the third. Duchene scored on a tip-in to make it 5-3.

Iginla scored into an empty net at 17:11.

Johnny Gaudreau, Sam Bennett and Jiri Hudler scored for the slumping Flames. Calgary has won just twice in its last 11 games.
