The Colorado Avalanche are 5-1-4 in their first 10 games of the season, with four of their losses coming in extra minutes—two shootouts and two overtime losses. However, with those games going into extra time, even with a loss, they come away with a point.
The Avalanche have faced adversity early this season with Mackenzie Blackwood out due to an injury, and therefore leaning on Scott Wedgewood for most of the minutes this year, and Trent Miner for one start and one game in which he replaced Wedgewood. Blackwood has a GAA of 2.42, while Miner has a GAA of 2.
