HONORING PIERRE
Prior to tonight's game, the Avalanche will hold a brief
ceremony and moment of silence in honor of former general manager
Pierre Lacroix, who passed
away on Dec. 13 ... The Avs will wear 'PL' decals on their
helmets throughout the season.
25 SEASONS OF AVALANCHE HOCKEY
The Avalanche will celebrate the organization’s 25th anniversary
season in Denver during the 2020-21 campaign ... The Avalanche will
wear a special
“25th” patch on its jerseys and will introduce several jersey
modifications, including the adidas Reverse Retro sweater and the
home and away sweaters
switching to the primary color of blue for the shorts, gloves
and helmets ... The Avs arrived in the Mile High City on July 1,
1995 when COMSAT
Entertainment Group officially acquired the Nordiques ... Six
weeks later on August 10, 1995, the team was introduced as the
Colorado
Avalanche ... The Avs played their inaugural game on October 6,
1995, a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings at McNichols Sports
Arena.
TONIGHT
The Avalanche opens the 2020-21 regular season tonight against
the St. Louis Blues at Ball Arena ... Colorado’s 56-game schedule
will consist entirely
of divisional games, as the NHL realigned into four new
divisions this year ... The Avs will face fellow Honda West
Division foes Anaheim, Arizona, Los
Angeles, Minnesota, St. Louis, San Jose and Vegas eight times
apiece (four home/away) ... Tonight’s start date is the third
latest to begin a season in
franchise history behind the lockout shortened 1994-95 (Jan. 21)
and 2012-13 (Jan. 19) campaigns ... Tonight is the club’s first
game at Ball Arena since
March 11, 2020 (3-2 OT win over NY Rangers) ... This is the
first time Colorado will play the same opponent in two straight
regular season games since
Feb. 15-17, 2007 at Calgary and the first time at home since
Oct. 27-29, 2005 vs. Vancouver.
2019-20 RECAP
The Avalanche finished second in the Central Division and the
Western Conference with 92 points in 70 games ... The Avs ended two
points behind St.
Louis (94) but played one fewer game than the Blues when the
regular season was paused on March 12 and eventually concluded ...
The Avs’ 92 points
tied Tampa Bay for third in the NHL behind only the Blues and
Boston Bruins (100) ... Colorado’s .657 points percentage was its
third highest since
relocating to Denver, trailing only the 2000-01 team (.720) and
the 2013-14 squad (.683) ... The Avalanche clinched a playoff berth
for the third straight
year and advanced to the second round for the second consecutive
season ... The Avs went on to compile a 9-5-1 record during the
2020
playoffs, coming within a Game 7 overtime period of advancing to
the Conference Final.
SUCCESS ON OPENING NIGHT
The Avalanche franchise owns a 23-10-7 (.663) all-time record on
Opening Night, the second-best mark in the NHL ... Colorado has won
four straight
openers, tied with Philadelphia for the second-longest active
win streak behind Tampa (six straight) ... The club’s four straight
season-opening wins is
the longest such streak in Avalanche history and the
second-longest in franchise history (Quebec won eight in a row from
1981-82 to 1988-89).

Bednar ... With a win tonight, Bednar can become the sixth head
coach in NHL history to
win his first five career Opening Night games ... The record is
eight by Tom Renney ... Bednar and Ralph Krueger (2-0) are the only
active coaches who
remain perfect in season openers

The Avalanche franchise is 28-8-4 (.750) all-time in home
openers ... Colorado is 16-5-3 (.729) in home openers since moving
from Quebec, which
includes a 14-4-2 (.750) mark at Ball Arena.
HOMEBODIES
The Avs will begin their season at home for the third straight
year, the 12th time in the last 15 seasons and for the 14th time in
the last 18.
AVS & BLUES
This is the first of eight meetings between Colorado and St.
Louis and the first of four at Ball Arena ... They will face off
again here on Friday night ... The
Avs and Blues split the four meetings last season, with the home
team winning every matchup ... The Avalanche won the lone
postseason meeting on
Aug. 2 in Edmonton, as Nazem Kadri scored with 0:01 left in
regulation to give the Avs a 2-1 victory.

CONNECTIONS
Erik Johnson (first overall in 2006) and Ian Cole (18th in 2007)
were first-round picks by the Blues and began their careers with
St. Louis ... Ryan
O'Reilly was drafted by Colorado (33rd overall) in 2009 and
began his career with the Avs ... Ray Bennett spent 10 seasons on
the Blues' coaching staff.
TIP OF CAP
Gabriel Landeskog enters his 10th NHL season and ninth as the
Avalanche’s captain ... Landeskog was the youngest captain in NHL
history when he
assumed the role at 19 years, 286 days on Sept. 4, 2012, a title
he held for four years before Connor McDavid was given the “C” at
19 years, 266 days
on Oct. 5, 2016 ... Landeskog is the second-longest serving
captain in franchise history behind only Joe Sakic (17 seasons
overall, 16
consecutive) ... Only four current players have served as
captain of their respective teams for a longer period of time.
Sidney Crosby (PIT) 14th season (2007-08)
Jonathan Toews (CHI) 13th (2008-09)
Alex Ovechkin (WSH) 12th (2009-10)
Ryan Getzlaf (ANA) 11th (2010-11)
Gabriel Landeskog (COL) 9th (2012-13)
Claude Giroux (PHI) 9th (2012-13)
FAMILIAR FACES
Colorado’s 56-game schedule will consist entirely of divisional
games, as the Avs will face fellow Honda West Division foes
Anaheim, Arizona, Los
Angeles, Minnesota, St. Louis, San Jose and Vegas eight times
apiece (four home/away) ... This year marks the first time that the
Avs will face an
opponent eight times in a season since 2007-08, when they met
each of their Northwest Division foes eight times apiece ...
Colorado also played its
division rivals eight times each in 2005-06 and 2006-07 ...
Prior to the franchise relocating, the Quebec Nordiques played
their Adams Division
opponents eight times per season from 1981-82 to 1991-92 and met
the expansion Ottawa Senators nine times in 1992-93 ... The Avs
have several
stretches this season in which they play the same opponent four
straight times, a franchise first.
-
BEDNAR
Jared Bednar begins his fifth season as Colorado’s head coach
... He has guided the Avalanche to three consecutive playoff
appearances, including two
straight trips to the second round ... Bednar, 48, owns a
145-136-35 (.514) record in four seasons behind the bench, which
includes a 123-80-31 (.592)
mark over the past three years ... Only Bob Hartley (193) has
more wins in Avalanche history ... Bednar’s 145 victories rank
fourth in franchise annals
behind Michel Bergeron (265), Hartley (193) and Marc Crawford
(165) ... The 2020-21 campaign marks Bednar’s 19th season of
coaching professional
hockey, 11 of which have been as a head coach ... He guided his
teams to championships at both the AHL and ECHL levels ... Hired on
Aug. 25, 2016,
Bednar is now the sixth-longest tenured head coach in the
NHL.

GETTING IT DONE AT BOTH ENDS OF THE ICE
Colorado last season tied for third among all teams in goals
scored (236) and ranked fourth in goals/game (3.37) ... The Avs
shared the league lead in 5-
on-5 tallies (162) ... Colorado led all teams in both first
period (73) and second period (95) goals and its +46 goal
differential was third in the NHL ...
Colorado’s goaltenders ranked sixth in team goals-against
average (2.69), finishing among the NHL’s top 10 in that category
for the first time since
2002-03 ... The Avs ranked fourth in team save percentage
(.913).
CARRYING THE LOAD
Nathan MacKinnon won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy and was a
finalist for the Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award for the second
time in three
seasons ... MacKinnon ranked fifth in league scoring with 93
points (35g/58a) in 69 games ... He finished 43 points ahead of
Colorado’s second-leading
scorer, Cale Makar (50), the largest gap of any team since the
2007-08 Capitals (Ovechkin 112, Backstrom 69) ... MacKinnon is the
first player in
franchise history to lead the team in scoring for four straight
seasons ... He added 25 points (9g/16a) in 15 postseason contests,
the most by an
Avalanche player in a playoff year since Peter Forsberg had 27
in 2002.
CALDER CALE
Cale Makar won the Calder Trophy, becoming the first defenseman
in Avalanche/Nordiques history to win the award ... He was just the
12th
defenseman to win the Calder and only the second in the last 10
seasons, joining Aaron Ekblad in 2014-15 ... With 50 points
(12g/38a) in 57 games,
Makar's 0.88 points-per-game average led all rookies and tied
for the third-highest total by a rookie defenseman in NHL history
(min. 50 GP) ... Only
Brian Leetch (1.04, NYR, 1988-89) and Larry Murphy (0.95, LAK,
1980-81) averaged more ... Makar added 15 points (4g/11a) in 15
playoff
contests, becoming the first rookie defenseman in NHL history to
average at least a point-per-game during a single postseason (min
15 GP).
