Through 37 games, the Avalanche has 25 victories. That’s the most wins to that point in club history, one game quicker than the Avs of last season.
Colorado jumped to a 2-0 lead and never trailed Monday afternoon against the Minnesota Wild, but needed two outstanding individual efforts in a shootout to win 4-3 and collect its club-record 14th-consecutive win at Ball Arena.
The Avs (25-8-3) got the only shootout goal from winger Mikko Rantanen and three saves from goalie Pavel Francouz to improve to 2-0 over the Central Division-rival Wild.
Five takeaways:
Great Nate.
