Comeau beat a backchecking Auston Matthews to the net and redirected Carl Soderberg's feed past goalie Frederik Andersen to put Colorado ahead 3-2. Gabriel Landeskog added an empty-netter in the final minute to seal it.
Gabriel Bourque and Nail Yakupov also scored for the surprising Avalanche, who have surged into a crowded race for the two Western Conference wild cards. Jonathan Bernier made 29 saves for his ninth straight win in place of injured Semyon Varlamov.

LIGHTNING 2, BLACKHAWKS 0
CHICAGO (AP) - Andrei Vasilevskiy made 40 saves in his NHL-best seventh shutout, Chris Kunitz scored a short-handed goal in the second period and Tampa Bay ended a season-high three-game skid.
Yanni Gourde also scored to help the Lightning leapfrog idle Vegas for the best record in the NHL. Tampa Bay, which lost to Chicago in the 2015 Stanley Cup Final, improved to 11-0-2 against the Blackhawks in their last 13 regular-season meetings.
With Tampa Bay defenseman Mikhail Sergachev serving a double minor for high sticking and unsportsmanlike conduct, Jake Dotchin shot the puck wide of the net and Kunitz found it before anyone else, taking it off the backboard and banking it in off the right skate of goaltender Jeff Glass.
Kunitz's sixth goal of the season was enough for Vasilevskiy, who got his 28th win of the season.
Glass made 29 saves, but last-place Chicago lost for the fourth time in five games.
COYOTES 3, ISLANDERS 2, OT
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Nick Cousins scored his second goal of the game 2:21 into overtime to lift Arizona.

SABRES 2, FLAMES 1, OT
CALGARY, Alberta (AP) - Jack Eichel scored 1:30 into overtime to give Buffalo its first win at Calgary in more than 14 years.
