Stefan Elliott's first career goal -- in his NHL - highlighted a four-goal third period the Colorado Avalanche used to 2, on Saturday.

Shane O'Brien, Jan Hejda and Paul Stastny also lit the lamp in the third for the Avalanche, who notched their first win in seven games over a Northwest Division opponent and improved to 2-2-0 on an eight-game homestand.

Semyon Varlamov stopped 31 shots to pick up his first win since October 30. He was 0-6-1 with a 4.18 goals-against average and .847 save percentage in November.

Devan Dubnyk made 24 saves for Edmonton, which has dropped six of its last nine games.
