LAST GAME – Jan. 31 (Minnesota 4, Colorado 3 in OT)
Jonas Brodin scored 18 seconds into overtime to give the Wild a 4-3 victory over the Avalanche at Xcel Energy Center ... Joonas Donskoi, Cale Makar
and Brandon Saad scored for the Avs, while Nathan MacKinnon had two assists before leaving the game due to injury ... Hunter Miska made his second
career start and stopped 29 shots.
PP: 0-4 PK: 3-3 SF: 25 SA: 33
• Colorado has points in a season-best four straight games (3-0-1).
• The Avalanche's PK unit went 3-for-3 and has now killed off 22 straight penalties.
• Nazem Kadri notched his 400th NHL point.
• Saad has a four-game point streak (4g/3a).
• MacKinnon has a five-game assist streak (0g/7a), matching his career long.
• Makar (1g/5a) and Donskoi (3g/1a) each have four-game point streaks, one shy of their respective career highs.
• Makar's 28:09 ice time was a career high.
TONIGHT
Tonight is the third of four straight meetings between the Avalanche and Wild as the "series" shifts to Denver for two games after a back-to-back in St.
Paul over the weekend ... Colorado won 5-1 on Saturday and the Wild prevailed 4-3 in overtime on Sunday.
• Colorado has points in a season-best four straight games (3-0-1).
• The Avs have won three straight home games, outscoring the opposition 18-3.
• Gabriel Landeskog needs one goal to tie Peter Forsberg (202) for the third-most all-time in an Avalanche sweater.
• Andre Burakovsky needs two points for 200.
WELL IT'S GROUNDHOG DAY... AGAIN
The Avs are 7-3-1 all-time on Groundhog Day.
TAKE IT ONE MONTH AT A TIME
The Avalanche finished 6-3-1 in January, their 10th consecutive month above .500 going back to February 2019 ... Only once before has the franchise
posted 10 straight winning months, March 2000 to October 2001 (also 10 straight).
GETTING IT DONE AT BOTH ENDS OF THE ICE
The Avs rank fourth in goals/game (3.6) and have allowed the sixth fewest per contest (2.3) ... Last year's team finished the exact same: fourth (3.37)
and sixth (2.71), respectively ... The Avs this season rank 10th in shots/game (31.8) and are fourth in shots against (26.2).
ALL HAIL CALE
Cale Makar is tied for first among NHL defensemen with 11 points (1g/10a) ... His 11 points are the most by an Avalanche defender through 10 team
games since John-Michael Liles (also 11) in 2010-11.
FEELING GRU-BI
Philipp Grubauer led all NHL netminders with six wins in the month of January ... His two shutouts tied for the league lead last month and he ranked fifth
in goals-against average (1.75) and 10th in save percentage (.930).
VIEW TO A KILL
Colorado's penalty kill ranks first in the NHL at 91.7% (33/36), which includes a current streak of 22 straight kills ... The Avs are 15-for-15 on home ice.
POSITION OF POWER
The Avs lead all teams with 14 power-play goals, converting at a 28.6% clip (14/49) ... The Avs matched a single-game franchise record with five power-
play goals on Jan. 15 vs. St. Louis ... It was the sixth time that Colorado/Quebec has scored five times with the man advantage but only the second time
since moving to Denver (Feb. 20, 2018 at Vancouver) ... Three of those five PPG came in the third period, tying the franchise record for a single frame.
Colorado Avalanche: Media Notes
KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE BUT YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER
It's fitting that the Wild are the first team that the Avalanche will play four consecutive regular-season games against ... Colorado and Minnesota have
shared a division in every season of the Wild's existence: Northwest (2000-01 to 2012-13), Central (2013-14 to 2019-20) and now the Honda West
(2020-21) ... Meeting eight times in a season is nothing new to the Avs and Wild, as they met eight times during the 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08
campaigns ... The Avs and Wild have faced off 128 times (108 regular season, 20 playoffs) in their history, by far the most common opponent for either
team since Minnesota entered the league ... If you include the playoffs, they met 14 times during the 2007-08 campaign, 12 times in 2002-03 and 12
times in 2013-14 (14 if you include the preseason).
DID YOU KNOW
This past weekend's back-to-back in St. Paul marked just the fourth time that Colorado and Minnesota have met on consecutive days during the regular
season but the first time in the same building ... However, they actually did it once in the postseason during the 2008 Western Conference Quarterfinal ...
Games 3-4 were on back-to-back nights in Denver (April 14-15, 2008).
AVS & WILD
Tonight is the third of four straight and eight meetings overall between the Avalanche and Wild ... It's the first of four at Ball Arena ... They split four
meetings last year with the fifth matchup cancelled.

YOU HAD TO BE A BIG SHOT, DIDN'T YOU
Nathan MacKinnon has recorded at least one shot in 230 consecutive regular-season games, the longest streak in franchise history ... He broke Joe
Sakic's mark of 227 (1995-99) on Jan. 28 vs. San Jose ... MacKinnon's streak, which began on Oct. 14, 2017 at Dallas, is the longest current run in the
NHL ... He has led the league in shots for each of the past two seasons.
HOME, SWEET HOME
The Avs have won their last three home games by a combined score of 18-3 ... With wins over St. Louis (8-0 on Jan. 15) and San Jose (7-3 on Jan. 26),
the Avalanche scored seven-plus goals in consecutive home games for the first time since the franchise relocated ... Colorado's 8-0 win over the Blues
on Jan. 15 tied the franchise record for the largest margin of victory in a shutout (8-0 on March 13, 1985 vs. North Stars).
BACK-TO-BACK
The Avs have played two back-to-back games thus far (1-1-0 in the first game, 1-0-1 in the second) ... The Avs played 12 back-to-backs last season,
finishing 9-3-0 in the first contest and 6-5-1 in the second.
PICK SIX
Mikko Rantanen had a career-high, six-game goal streak from Jan. 15-26 ... He was just the fifth Colorado player to score in six or more consecutive
games since the franchise relocated to Denver ... Rantanen opened the season with a five-game ROAD goal streak, Jan. 19-30, the first player in
franchise history to score in each of the team's first five road contests.
DAY IN, DAY OUT
Samuel Girard has appeared in 230 straight regular-season games, the second-longest ironman streak ever by an Avalanche defenseman.
Gabriel Landeskog is in his 10th NHL season and ninth as team captain ... Landeskog was the youngest captain in NHL history when he assumed the
role at 19 years, 286 days on Sept. 4, 2012, a title he held for four years before Connor McDavid (19 years, 266 days on Oct. 5, 2016) ... Landeskog is
the second-longest serving captain in franchise history behind Joe Sakic (17 seasons overall, 16 consecutive) ... Only four players have been captain of
their current teams longer.

WORKING OVERTIME
Gabriel Landeskog scored his fifth career OT goal on Jan. 22 at Anaheim ... Only Milan Hejduk (9), Nathan MacKinnon (8), Joe Sakic (7) and David
Jones (6) have more in franchise history.
BENCH BOSS
Jared Bednar is in his fifth season as head coach ... He earned his 150th NHL coaching victory on Jan. 28 against San Jose, becoming the fourth coach
in Avalanche/Nordiques history to reach 150 wins ... He joined Michel Bergeron (265), Bob Hartley (193) and Marc Crawford (165) ... Bednar owns a
151-139-36 (.518) record, which includes a 129-83-32 (.594) mark since 2017-18 ... Hired on Aug. 25, 2016, Bednar is the sixth-longest tenured head

25 SEASONS OF AVALANCHE HOCKEY
The Avalanche are celebrating their 25th anniversary season in Denver ... The Avs arrived in the Mile High City on July 1, 1995 when COMSAT
Entertainment Group officially acquired the Nordiques ... Six weeks later on August 10, 1995, the team was introduced as the Colorado

THIS DAY IN AVS HISTORY
Feb. 2, 2010 — Ryan O'Reilly scored two short-handed goals and T.J. Galiardi had four assists to lead the Avalanche to a 5-1 victory over the Blue
Jackets in Denver ... O'Reilly became the first rookie in franchise history to score two shorthanded goals in one game, while Galiardi was the first
Colorado rookie to have four assists since March 28, 1999 (Milan Hejduk).
