Sergachev and Keller each had two assists, and Karel Vejmelka made 30 saves. Cale Makar, Jack Drury and Martin Necas scored for Colorado (5-0-2), which has earned at least one point in each of its first seven games. Avalanche goalie Scott Wedgewood, who entered ranked second in the NHL with a 1.48 goals-against average, stopped 29 shots. Necas scored the equalizer for the Avalanche with 2:16 left in regulation on a shot off Vejmelka’s helmet from a tough angle.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Walker Kessler had 22 points and nine rebounds, Lauri Markkanen scored 20 and the Utah Jazz beat the Los Angeles Clippers 129-108 on Wednesday night. Brice Sensabaugh added 20 points off the bench for Utah, which set a team record for points in a season opener. Kessler, the longest-tenured member of the Jazz, went 7 for 7 from the field. He blocked four shots and finished with four assists. The new-look Clippers appeared confused on the court at times in a disappointing debut for a team with lofty aspirations. Ivica Zubac led Los Angeles with 19 points and seven rebounds. James Harden and Brook Lopez each scored 15. Kawhi Leonard had 10 points on 3-of-9 shooting. It was Los Angeles’ most lopsided season-opening loss in 17 years. Utah made its first 19 shots in the paint, as crisp passing and precise ball movement led to layups and dunks. Widely expected to finish near the bottom of the NBA this season, the Jazz had 38 assists on 48 baskets and shot 55% from the field. Keyonte George led Utah with nine assists to go with his 16 points. Ace Bailey, the No. 5 pick in this
