IT'S HOW YOU GET BACK UP Colorado is 5-0-0 following a loss this season, one of three teams who have yet to drop consecutive games in 2020-21 (also Carolina and Florida).
TOO BUSY THINKING ABOUT MY BABY....AND I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR NOTHING ELSE Thanks to five postponements in early February, the Avs are in the midst of several busy stretches ... Starting with the outdoor game this past Saturday, the Avalanche will play 43 games over the final 78 days of the regular season ... The club will not go more than one day between games the rest of the way, which includes six back-to-backs ... Starting this Friday in Arizona, the Avalanche will play 15 games in 26 days through March 23 and 26 games in 46 days through April 12.
AVS & WILD Tonight is the makeup game of the postponed Feb. 4th contest ... This is the fourth of eight scheduled matchups between Colorado and Minnesota in 2020-21 and the second of four at Ball Arena ... Meeting eight times in a season is nothing new to the Avs and Wild, as they faced off eight times during the 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08 campaigns ... The Avs and Wild have dropped the puck 129 times (109 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) ... 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).

CONNECTIONS Ian Cole (2018-21) and Andrew Hammond (2017-18) are former Avs ... Erik Johnson is from Bloomington and played at the Univ. of Minnesota (2006- 07) ... Hunter Miska is from North Branch and played at Minnesota Duluth (2016-17) ... Darby Hendrickson played for the Avs (2003-04).
STAY OUT The Avs are allowing 2.13 goals-per-game, second in the NHL behind only Vegas (2.06) ... Colorado's .920 team save percentage is also second to the Golden Knights (.923) ... The Avs are yielding the second-fewest shots against at 26.7, trailing only Boston (25.1).
VIEW TO A KILL The Avalanche's penalty-killing unit ranks first in the NHL at 88.2% (45/51) ... The PK unit has extinguished 34 of its last 37 (91.9%) shorthanded situations, which included a streak of 24 straight kills from Jan. 22 to Feb. 2 ... Colorado's PK started the year 17-for-17 on home ice and have killed 92.0% (23/25) at home.
YOU'RE THE FIRST, THE LAST, MY EVERYTHING Colorado has scored the first goal of the game in 11 of its 15 contests (73.3%), the highest percentage of scoring first in the league ... The Avs are 8-2-1 when lighting the lamp first.
FEELING GRU-BI Philipp Grubauer ranks third in the NHL with nine wins ... He ranks fifth in goals-against average (1.78) and seventh in save percentage (.932), although Marc-Andre Fleury is the only player ahead of him on either list who has played more than seven games ... Grubi is tied for fourth in shutouts (2).
HOW D-LIGHTFUL Colorado's defensemen have combined for 34 points (7g/27a) or 28.1% of the Avalanche's total point production through 15 contests ... Only one team, Vancouver, has gotten a higher percentage of its offense from the back end (30%) ... Cale Makar is tied for second among all defensemen in points-per- game (0.92) while Devon Toews is tied for sixth among all rearguards with four goals.
MILESTONE WATCH • Gabriel Landeskog – 1 goal to tie Peter Forsberg (202) for third all-time in an Avalanche sweater (since 1995-96) ... Joe Sakic is first (391), followed by Milan Hejduk (375) • Andre Burakovsky – 2 points for 200 • Joonas Donskoi – 1 assist for 100 • Nathan MacKinnon – 2 assists to tie Alex Tanguay (321) for eighth place in franchise history (fourth in Avalanche history)
HOME, SWEET HOME The Avs are 5-2-0 at home this season, which included a five-game win streak from Jan. 15–Feb. 2 ... 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).
AVS WIN OUTDOOR GAME Nathan MacKinnon factored on all three goals, tallying a goal and two assists to lift the Avalanche to a 3-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights at the Bridgestone NHL Outdoors Saturday in Lake Tahoe ... Devon Toews added a goal and one helper, Mikko Rantanen had two assists and Philipp Grubauer made 27 saves ... Samuel Girard opened the scoring earlier in the day as the contest was postponed eight hours after the first period due to poor ice conditions. • The Avalanche participated in their third outdoor game and earned their first victory ... The Avs hosted Detroit in the 2016 Stadium Series at Coors Field (5-3 loss) and hosted Los Angeles a year ago at the 2020 Stadium Series at the Air Force Academy (3-1 loss). • MacKinnon's three points equaled the most by a player in an NHL outdoor game, most recently achieved by Tyler Toffoli (3g) with Los Angeles in the 2020 Stadium Series against Colorado ... David Pastrnak (3g) and James van Riemsdyk (1g/2a) each had three on Sunday to match that as well. • MacKinnon boosted his career point total in NHL outdoor games to five (2g/3a) in three appearances, which now trails only Henrik Zetterberg (0g/7a in 4 GP), Jonathan Toews (2g/5a in 6 GP) and van Riemsdyk (3g/3a in 7 GP) for the most all-time. • MacKinnon notched his second career multi-point effort in an outdoor contest after having a goal and one assist in the 2016 Stadium Series at Coors Field ... Only two other players have as many multi-point outings in games contested outdoors, Tomas Tatar and Henrik Zetterberg (two each). • Toews was the first defenseman to score the winning goal in an NHL outdoor game since Ottawa's Cody Ceci in the 2014 Heritage Classic against Vancouver at BC Place (March 2, 2014) ... In fact, Toews is just the third blueliner out of 32 total outdoor NHL contests to score the game winner, joining Ceci and Brian Rafalski (2009 Winter Classic with Detroit against Chicago). • Girard scored a goal in his second straight outdoor game, as he also lit the lamp against the Kings in the 2020 Stadium Series at Air Force.
YOU HAD TO BE A BIG SHOT, DIDN'T YOU Nathan MacKinnon has recorded at least one shot in 234 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.
TIP OF CAP 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 ... Gabe is the second-longest serving captain in franchise history behind Joe Sakic (17 seasons, 16 consecutive) ... Only four players have been captain of their current teams longer.
Sidney Crosby (PIT) 14th (2007-08) Jonathan Toews (CHI) 13th (2008-09) Alex Ovechkin (WSH) 12th (2009-10) Ryan Getzlaf (ANA) 11th (2010-11) Gabriel Landeskog (COL) 9th (2012-13) Claude Giroux (PHI) 9th (2012-13)
BENCH BOSS Jared Bednar is in his fifth season as head coach ... He owns a 154-141-36 (.520) career record, which includes a 132-85-32 (.594) mark since the start of 2017-18 ... Bednar earned his 150th NHL coaching victory on Jan. 28 against San Jose, becoming the fourth coach in Avalanche/Nordiques history to reach 150 wins (Michel Bergeron 265, Bob Hartley 193, Marc Crawford 165) ... Bednar is the sixth-longest tenured head coach.

THIS DAY IN AVS HISTORY Feb. 24, 2002 — Joe Sakic scored twice and added two assists to lift Canada to a 5-2 victory over Team USA in the gold-medal game of the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City ...
