LAST GAME – Jan. 30 (Colorado 5, Minnesota 1)

Mikko Rantanen and Brandon Saad each had a goal and one assist to help the Avalanche win their third straight game, 5-1, over the Minnesota Wild ...

Logan O'Connor, Joonas Donskoi and J.T. Compher also scored for Colorado, and Nathan MacKinnon, Andre Burakovsky and Samuel Girard all

chipped in with two assists ... Philipp Grubauer made 19 saves to pick up his league-leading sixth win of 2020-21.

PP: 2-7 PK: 2-2 SF: 33 SA: 20

• The Avs are outscoring their opponents 15-4 during this three-game win streak.

• Colorado is out-shooting its opponents by an average of 37.7 to 23.7 during these last three wins ... The Avs rank fourth in shots/game (32.6) and

fifth in fewest shots against/game (25.4).

• The Avalanche's PK unit went 2-for-2 and has now killed off 19 straight penalties.

• Colorado's power play was 2-for-7 and leads the NHL with 14 man-advantage goals ... The Avs have scored a PPG in eight of their nine contests.

• Mikko Rantanen became the first Avalanche/Nordiques player to score in each of the team's first five road games of a season.

• Cale Makar recorded his 10th assist of 2020-21 (in nine games) .... Only one Avalanche/Nordiques defenseman has reached the 10-assist mark in

fewer games: John-Michael Liles in 2010-11 (eight).

TONIGHT

The Avalanche and Wild meet for the second time in 24 hours tonight at Xcel Energy Center ... This is the second of four straight meetings between

these division rivals ... The four-game "series" will shift back to Denver on Tuesday.

• Mikko Rantanen has scored a goal in all five road games this year, the first player in franchise history to do so ... He will attempt to become the first

NHL player to score in his team's first six road contests since Eric Lindros with Philadelphia in 1995-96.

• Nazem Kadri needs one point for 400 career.

• Gabriel Landeskog needs one goal to tie Peter Forsberg (202) for the third-most in an Avalanche sweater.

• Andre Burakovsky needs two points for 200.

BACK-TO-BACK

The Avs are playing their second back-to-back of the season ... Colorado split last week in Los Angeles (4-2 loss) and Anaheim (3-2 win) ... The Avs

played 12 back-to-back games last season, finishing 9-3-0 in the first contest and 6-5-1 in the second.

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE BUT YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER

It's fitting that the Wild are the first team that the Avalanche will play four consecutive regular-season games against ... 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) ... Meeting eight times in a season is nothing new to the Avs and Wild, as they met eight times during the 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08

campaigns ... The Avs and Wild have faced off 127 times (107 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).

DID YOU KNOW

The Avalanche and Wild have played on consecutive nights in the regular season on three occasions but obviously never both in the same building (all

were home-and-home sets) ... However, they actually did it once in the postseason during the 2008 Western Conference Quarterfinal ... Games 3-4

were on back-to-back nights in Denver (April 14-15, 2008) ... The Wild won Game 3 in overtime but Colorado took Game 4 and won the series in six ...

They also played consecutive nights during the 2003 playoffs but it was a home-and-home.

AVS & WILD

Tonight is the second of four straight and eight meetings overall between the Avalanche and Wild ... They split the four meetings last year with the fifth

matchup cancelled.

10 power-play goals (five) ... The Avs matched a single-game franchise record with five power-play goals on Jan. 15 vs. St. Louis ... It was the sixth time

that Colorado/Quebec has scored five times with the man advantage but only the second time since moving to Denver (Feb. 20, 2018 at Vancouver) ...

Three of those five power-play goals came in the third period, tying the franchise record for a single frame.

VIEW TO A KILL

The Avalanche's penalty kill unit ranks first in the NHL at 90.9%, which includes a current streak of 19 straight kills.

YOU HAD TO BE A BIG SHOT, DIDN'T YOU

Nathan MacKinnon has recorded at least one shot in 229 consecutive regular-season games, the longest streak in franchise history ... He broke Joe

Sakic's mark of 227 straight contests with a shot from Nov. 17, 1995 to Jan. 12, 1999 ... MacKinnon's streak, which began on Oct. 14, 2017 at Dallas, is

Tuesday), the Avalanche scored seven-plus goals in consecutive home games for the first time since the franchise relocated ... The Avalanche'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).

PICK SIX

Mikko Rantanen saw his career-high, six-game goal streak snapped on Thursday ... Rantanen was the first Avalanche player to score in six straight

games since Nathan MacKinnon from Oct. 4-16, 2018 ... In fact, since the franchise relocated to Denver, Mikko was just the fifth Colorado player to

score in six or more consecutive games.
