Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Colin Wilson scored, and Gabriel Landeskog had two assists for Colorado (22-22-9), which has lost five straight and 15 of its past 18 (3-12-3). Varlamov made 38 saves.

"We were doing some good things and then we get kind of tangled up in the corner and lose a puck at the end of it," Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. "So it's definitely a big point to get. It's also a big point to lose, but it's definitely something to build on, I think. It should give our team a little confidence."

Rantanen cut it to 3-2 at 5:10 of the third period on a shot from the slot, and Wilson tied it 3-3 with 2:07 remaining when his shot from a sharp angle deflected in off Copley's stick.

"It's a big point," Landeskog said. "But at this point, we're looking for wins, not points."
