LOGGING BIG MINUTES Erik Johnson is averaging 25:39 of ice time this season, tops on the Avs and 10th best in the league. EJ leads the NHL in shifts-per- game at 33.1.
RUNNING ON EMPTY Colorado has scored six empty-net goals this season, the most of any team in the NHL. The Avalanche's six empty-net tallies are already one more than they had all of last season. Colorado scored two empty netters on Oct. 11 against Boston, the first time they've done that in a single game since March 2, 2014 vs. Tampa Bay.
BARRIE GOOD STREAK Tyson Barrie had a career-high six game point streak from Oct. 11-24, the longest by an Avalanche defenseman since Kevin Shattenkirk’s nine-game run from Nov. 17 to Dec. 4, 2010. Barrie's streak equaled the longest by an NHL defenseman in 2017-18, as Olli Maatta and Jake Muzzin also had six-game stretches with at least a point. Over the last 13 seasons (2005-06 to 2017-18), only two Colorado defenders had longer streaks than Barrie: Shattenkirk and John-Michael Liles, who both had nine-game streaks in 2010-11.

DAY-DREAM BELIEVER The Avs will play 12 afternoon games this season, the club's most daytime tilts since 2008-09 (also 12). Yesterday's "Nevada Day" contest in Las Vegas was one of three weekday matinees for the Avs this season, as they played in Boston on Columbus Day (Monday, Oct. 9) and will host the Ducks on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Monday, Jan. 15). Colorado is 1-2-0 so far in day games so far this year. The Avs are scheduled for seven home afternoon contests in 2017-18, equaling the most in Avalanche history (also 1998-99 and 2002-03).
YOUTH IS SERVED With Andrew Agozzino and Rocco Grimaldi being recalled, the Avalanche's current roster features an average age of 25.5, the second- youngest roster in the NHL (as of Oct. 27).

Colorado is making its second trip to Europe and its international regular-season debut. The Avs were part of the 2001 NHL Challenge Series, and as defending Stanley Cup champions defeated Brynas IF of the Swedish Elite League by a score of 5-3 thanks to Alex Tanguay’s hat trick. Colorado has four Swedish players on its current roster: Gabriel Landeskog (Stockholm), Anton Lindholm (Skelleftea), Patrik Nemeth (Stockholm) and Carl Soderberg (Malmo).

THIS DAY IN AVALANCHE HISTORY Oct. 29, 2005 - Ian Laperriere scored his first career overtime goal as the Avalanche beat the Canucks, 4-3, at Pepsi Center. Alex Tanguay scored with 4:35 left in regulation to force overtime, and Rob Blake and Andrew Brunette also lit the lamp.
COACHES CHALLENGES (0-for-2) Oct. 13 vs. ANAHEIM - Call on the ice stands, no goal due to goalie interference by Blake Comeau. Oct. 27 at Vegas - Call on the ice stands, good goal by Oscar Lindberg. It was determined that the actions of Sven Andrighetto caused the puck to enter the attacking zone and thus the off-side shall be ignored and play permitted to continue.
UPCOMING MILESTONES Tyson Barrie - needs 1 point for 200 and 1 goal for 50. Mikko Rantanen - needs 6 games for 100. Colin Wilson - needs 5 goals for 100.
