Colorado Avalanche: Media Notes

ROAD WARRIORS The Avs suffered their first road defeat of the season on Tuesday night in Carolina. The Avs began the year a league-best 6-0 awayfrom home, matching their longest road winning streak to begin a season in franchise history (also 2011-12). That 6-0 run fell one shyof equaling the franchise's longest road winning streak at any point of a season. The record is seven straight from Jan. 10 to Feb. 7,1999. Colorado actually won seven straight road outings dating back to the end of the 2012-13 campaign, which matched the overallfranchise record for consecutive road victories (including multiple seasons). LONGEST SINGLE-SEASON ROAD WIN STREAKS, FRANCHISE HISTORY 7 Jan. 10 - Feb. 7, 1999 6 Oct. 8 - Nov. 1, 2013 (start of season) 6 Oct. 10-22, 2011 (start of season) 6 Jan. 19 - March 11, 2002 6 March 7 - April 7, 2000 LONGEST OVERALL ROAD WINNING STREAKS, FRANCHISE HISTORY 7 Jan. 10 - Feb. 7, 1999 7 April 26 - Nov. 1, 2013 6 Oct. 10-22, 2011 6 Jan. 19 - March 11, 2002 6 March 7 - April 7, 2000 PK PERFECT ON THE ROAD Colorado has yet to allow a power-play goal on the road, going 20-for-20 in seven games away from home. The Avs and Blues (15-for-15) are the NHL's only perfect PK teams on the road. Overall, the Avalanche's penalty killing ranks among the NHL's top five at 88.7%(47/53). The Avs had been the No. 1 ranked PK unit for two weeks from Oct. 22 to Nov. 5. NET EFFECT Colorado leads all NHL teams in save percentage (.944), while ranking second in goals-against average (1.76), goals allowed (30) andgoal differential (+25). The Avs have held the opposition to two goals or less in 15 of their 17 games. The Avs began the season byholding their opponents to one goal or less in each of their first five games, becoming the first team in NHL history to begin a seasonwith five straight wins while allowing no more than one goal in each game. JIGGY STARTING STRONG Jean-Sebastien Giguere has won each of his first five starts, matching the longest winning streak to begin a season in franchisehistory. Giguere, who has allowed just five goals total in those five games, is now one shy of tying his career-long winning streak of sixgames done twice before (last: Oct. 21 - Nov. 4, 2008). Giguere is tied for first in the NHL in shutouts (2) and would lead all netmindersin goals-against average (1.00) and save percentage (.970) if he had enough games to qualify. All-time, Jiggy ranks 45th in NHLhistory in both wins (256) and appearances (580). He is tied with Tom Barrasso and Sean Burke for 37th place on the NHL’s all-timeshutout list (38). Among active netminders, Giguere is sixth in games, seventh in shutouts and ninth in wins. LONGEST WIN STREAK TO BEGIN A SEASON, FRANCHISE HISTORY 5 J.S. Giguere 2013-14 5 Semyon Varlamov 2013-14 5 Stephane Fiset 1994-95 5 Mario Gosselin 1985-86 NOT TOO SHABBY HIMSELF Semyon Varlamov ranks among the league's top 10 netminders in save percentage (.936), goals-against average (2.01) and wins (9). He finished 7-1-0 in October, which was the highest winning percentage (.875) by an Avalanche/Nordiques goalie in the month ofOctober. The previous mark was .800 by Patrick Roy in October of 2000 (7-1-2). Varlamov won his first five starts this year, matchingthe franchise record for the longest winning streak to begin a season. Varly allowed exactly one goal in each of his first four starts,becoming the first goaltender in Avalanche/Nordiques history to accomplish that feat. RECORD START BEHIND THE BENCH Patrick Roy has guided Colorado to a 14-3-0 start, the club’s best record through 17 games in franchise history. Roy was the firstcoach in NHL history to win 14 of his first 16 career games and one of only two coaches in league history to win 12 of his first 13 (MarcCrawford 1994-95). Roy led the Avs to a 6-0-0 mark in his first six games at the helm, tying the NHL record for consecutive wins by ahead coach to begin his career (Mario Tremblay 1995-96 Canadiens).

FIRST AND FOREMOST The Avalanche is 12-0-0 when scoring the first goal, the NHL's only unbeaten team when scoring first. HISTORIC DEBUT Nathan MacKinnon made his NHL debut at the age of 18 years, 31 days on Oct. 2, making him the youngest player in franchisehistory. He was over 200 days younger than the previous record holder, Owen Nolan, who was 18 years, 235 days when he debutedfor Quebec on Oct. 4, 1990 at Hartford. MacKinnon picked up a pair of assists in that debut for his first career points. He became theyoungest NHL player to record two or more points in a game since January 8, 1944, when Toronto's Ted Kennedy had four points(1g/3a) against the Bruins at the age of 18 years, 27 days. FAST START A look at the Avalanche's hot start to the season... • Opened the season 6-0, by far the club's best start since the team moved to Denver in 1995 and one shy of the franchise record (7-0 in 1985-86). • Each of Colorado's six wins and each of San Jose's first six victories this year came in regulation, the first NHL teams to begin a season with six consecutive regulation victories since the 1996-97 Dallas Stars. • 12-1-0 record in the first 13 games, becoming one of only five teams in NHL history to win 12 of their first 13 contests (2007-08 Senators, 2005-06 Red Wings, 1994-95 Nordiques and Penguins). • 10-1-0 in October, earning 20 out of a possible 22 points. That .909 points percentage was the best of any month in franchise history (min 10 GP). • The 10 victories matched the franchise record for wins in the month of October (10-2-2 in Oct. 2009). NHL'S YOUNGEST CAPTAIN Gabriel Landeskog was named team captain on Sept. 4, 2012, becoming the youngest captain in NHL history (19 years, 286 days). Hewas 11 days younger than Sidney Crosby, who was 19 years, 297 days when he was named captain of the Penguins on May 31,2007. Landeskog is in his second season wearing the 'C' and at age 20 still remains the youngest current captain in the league. SEASON INJURIES
