The only other goalie in league history to win 10 games in October was Manny Legace, who did it with the Detroit Red Wings in Anderson s 10 victories also tied the Colorado/Quebec franchise record for a single month. Dan Bouchard had 10 wins in February of 1981 and so did Peter Budaj in March of Anderson posted a record with a 2.04 goals-against average,.939 save percentage and two shutouts in 14 starts during the month. He also set new NHL records for both games played and starts in October. RECORD-SETTING START FOR ANDERSON Craig Anderson has started all 14 games this year, the most consecutive starts to begin a season in franchise history. He has shattered the previous record of nine consecutive starts by Quebec s Mario Gosselin to open the campaign. This marks the longest season-opening streak by an NHL goaltender since , when three different netminders opened that year with longer streaks: Evgeni Nabokov (43 games), Miikka Kiprusoff (23) and Henrik Lundqvist (16). Anderson is the only goaltender to play every minute for his team so far this season. The last Avalanche goaltender to start 14 straight games at any point of a season was Peter Budaj, who started 14 in a row from March 9 - April 9, The last Colorado netminder to start 15 consecutive games was Patrick Roy (16 straight) from Jan Feb. 21, PK STREAK NOW AT 20 The Avalanche s penalty killing unit has not allowed a power-play goal in four straight games, killing off all 19 short-handed situations. Colorado has actually killed off 20 consecutive power-plays going back to Oct. 24, which surpasses its longest streak from all of last

22 year (19 straight, March 29 - April 9). On the flip side, the Avalanche s power-play unit has also gone four straight games without a goal, a drought spanning 12 PP opportunities. HISTORIC START BEHIND THE BENCH Joe Sacco has guided the Avalanche to a record (22 points).
