LAST GAME - Oct. 5 (Minnesota 2 at Colorado 4) The Avs beat the Minnesota Wild 4-2 at Pepsi Center. Mikko Rantanen, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Gabriel Landeskog and Ryan Graves scored for the Avs, who got 29 saves from Philipp Grubauer.
TONIGHT The Colorado Avalanche continues its season-opening, four-game homestand tonight against the Boston Bruins at Pepsi Center. The Avs began the 2019-20 campaign with a 5-3 victory over the Calgary Flames last Thursday, followed by a 4-2 victory over the Wild on Saturday. Colorado will wrap up the homestand on Saturday night against Arizona. The Avs are beginning their 24th season in Denver and their 40th season as a franchise (including 16 years in Quebec). This is Colorado's 20th season here at Pepsi Center.
AIMING FOR 3-0 The Avs are looking to start a season 3-0-0 for just the second time since relocating to Denver, as the 2013-14 club opened that year 6- 0-0. Overall, the Avs are aiming to win their first three games of a season for the sixth time in franchise history. The Nordiques started 7-0-0 in 1985-86, 3-0-0 in 1987-88, 4-0-0 in 1992-93 and 5-0-0 in 1994-95.
MAKING EACH PERIOD COUNT The Avalanche has scored at least one goal in all six periods this season, the second straight year that Colorado has opened a season by scoring in each of its first six periods. Prior to last year, only one other time in Avalanche history (since 1995-96) had the club scored in each of its first six periods, 2013-14. No Avalanche club has ever opened a season by scoring in each of its first seven periods. Quebec scored in its first seven or more periods on four different occasions.
MAKAR FOR MORE HISTORY With a goal or an assist tonight, Cale Makar would become only the third defenseman in franchise history to tally points in each of his first three career regular-season games. Stefan Elliott opened his career with a three-game point streak from Nov. 26-30, 2011 and Quebec's Dave Pichette also had points in his first three contests from Dec. 7-11, 1980. Makar, who joined the team during their first round series against Calgary last spring, was the first defenseman in league history to score a goal while making his NHL debut in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
NOT FALLING BEHIND The Avs did not trail during their first two games, as they led 67.5% of the time and were tied 32.5%.
Lead: 81:01 Behind: 0:00 Tied: 38:59
HIGHER POWER Colorado's power play is 3-for-12 (25%) in the early going. The Avs were seventh in the NHL at 22.0% (63-286) last season, the club’s second straight top-10 finish after ranking eighth the year before (22.0%, 65-296). It was the first time in 13 years that the PP unit has finished among the top 10 in back-to-back seasons. Mikko Rantanen has scored a power-play goal in each of the first two games thus far. No Avalanche player has ever tallied a man-advantage goal in the team's first three games of a season. One Nordiques player accomplished the feat, Michel Goulet, in 1987-88.
AVS & BRUINS Tonight is the first of two meetings between the Avalanche and Bruins this season and Boston's lone visit to Denver.

Boston won the last meeting 2-1 in overtime on March 10 at TD Garden, snapping the Avalanche's 10-game winning streak in the city of Boston. The Avs did pick up one point to extend their 13-game point streak in Boston (11-0-2, 11 wins, 1 tie, 1 OTL).

STAYING HOME The Avs are beginning their season at home for the 11th time in the last 14 years and for the 13th time in the last 17. Colorado will play its first four games of the 2019-20 campaign at Pepsi Center, marking the longest season-opening homestand in franchise history (previous was three games in both 1998-99 and 2015-16).
HOME COOKING Colorado has won eight straight regular-season games at Pepsi Center dating back to last year and is 13-2-1 in its last 16 regular- season contests on home ice. If you include the club's 4-1 home record during the playoffs, the Avs are now 12-1 in their last 13 games at Pepsi Center and 17-3-1 in their last 21.
TWENTY YEARS OF MEMORIES The Pepsi Center is celebrating its 20th season in 2019-20, as the building officially opened with a Celine Dion concert on Oct. 1, 1999. The Avalanche's first game here was Oct. 13, 1999, a 2-1 victory over the Bruins. Milan Hejduk scored the first goal at Pepsi Center and continues to be the building's all-time leader with 188 career tallies. The Avalanche owns an all-time record of 413-269-80 (.594) in 762 regular-season games at Pepsi Center, as well as a 40-27 mark during the playoffs.
FEELING GRUBY Philipp Grubauer owns a .921 career save percentage, tied for the fourth-highest all-time among goaltenders who have appeared in at least 100 games since shots became an official statistic in 1955-56. He trails only Dominik Hasek (.922), John Gibson (.922) and Ken Dryden (.922).
LEAGUE OF NATIONS Nine different countries were represented on the Avalanche's Opening Night roster: Canada, USA, Russia, Finland and Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, France and Sweden. Columbus (also nine) was the only other NHL team to feature players from nine different countries to begin the season.

HEADING OUTDOORS The Avalanche’s 2019-20 schedule is highlighted by the NHL Stadium Series outdoor game against the Los Angeles Kings on Feb. 15 at the U.S. Air Force Academy. This event will mark the second NHL outdoor game in the state of Colorado, as the Avalanche hosted the Detroit Red Wings at Coors Field in Denver on Feb. 27, 2016. It will be the second outdoor game to be held at a U.S. service academy (Washington and Toronto played at the Naval Academy on March 3, 2018).
SUCCESS ON OPENING NIGHT Colorado's 5-3 victory on Oct. 3 improved the franchise's all-time record on Opening Night to 23-10-7 (.663), the second-best mark in the NHL. Colorado has won four straight on Opening Night, tied with Philadelphia for the second-longest active win streak behind Tampa (six). Colorado's four straight season-opening wins is the longest such streak in Avalanche history and the second-longest in franchise history (Quebec won eight in a row from 1981-82 to 1988-89).

BEDNAR IMPROVES TO 4-0 IN OPENERS The Avs improved to 4-0-0 in season openers under Jared Bednar, the longest streak of Opening Night wins ever by an Avalanche head coach (since 1995-96). Bednar is one of three active coaches who are perfect in season openers (Todd Reirden and Ralph Krueger are both 2-0). The NHL record for the longest such win streak from the start of a coaching career is eight by Tom Renney.
AVS IN HOME OPENERS The Oct. 3 victory improved the franchise's record to 28-8-4 (.750) all-time in home openers, second to only Minnesota (.833; 13-1-4). Colorado is 16-5-3 (.729) in home openers since moving from Quebec, which includes a 14-4-2 (.750) mark at Pepsi Center.
O' CAPTAIN Gabriel Landeskog, who was named team captain of the Avalanche on Sept. 4, 2012, begins his eighth season in that role. Landeskog was the youngest captain in NHL history when he assumed the job at 19 years, 286 days, a title he held for four years before Connor McDavid surpassed him on Oct. 5, 2016 (19 years, 266 days). Only six active captains have worn the "C" for a longer period of time.
