TONIGHT'S GAME The Colorado Avalanche continues its four-game homestand tonight against the Vancouver Canucks at Pepsi Center. The Avalanche opened the homestand with a 5- victory over Columbus last Saturday. Tonight is Colorado's first home game against a divisional opponent in 00-. The Avalanche finished 6-4- in the month of October ( points), tops in the Northwest Division. The Avs currently sit in second place in the Northwest, just one point behind the Canucks. The Avs are in the midst of a stretch that finds them playing seven-of-nine at home. Colorado began the year by playing seven of its first 0 on the road. This four-game homestand concludes with a visit from Dallas on Saturday and Calgary on Tuesday. STEWART NHL'S THIRD STAR IN OCTOBER Chris Stewart was named the NHL's Third Star of the Month for October. The Toronto native finished second among all skaters with 6 points (9g/7a) in games during the month. He tied for second in the NHL with nine goals in October and shared the league lead in both game-winning goals () and power-play tallies (4). Stewart ended the month with an active eight-game point streak (8g/6a), tying his career long set March 6-, 00. He had six multi-point games in October, including his second career hat trick on Oct. 8 at Calgary. Stewart's nine goals last month equaled the most by an Avalanche player in October. Joe Sakic had nine goals in October of 997 and Peter Forsberg had nine in October of 000, although both played more games than Stewart. MOST GOALS BY AVALANCHE PLAYER IN OCTOBER Player Season Goals Games Chris Stewart 00-9 GP Peter Forsberg 000-0 9 GP Joe Sakic 997-98 9 4 GP Wojtek Wolski 009-0 8 4 GP Milan Hejduk 999-00 8 GP Joe Sakic 995-96 8 GP OCTOBERFEST The Avalanche sat atop the Northwest Division standings at the end of October for the second straight year, finishing with a 6-4- record ( points) in the opening month. The Avs also led the division with a 0-- record ( points) through Halloween last season. Colorado's 6 combined wins over the last two Octobers ties Los Angeles for second most in the NHL behind Pittsburgh's 7. BUDAJ MOVING UP FRANCHISE LISTS Peter Budaj enters tonight's game tied with David Aebischer for third place on the franchise's all-time wins list with 89 victories. Only Patrick Roy (6) and Dan Bouchard (07) have won more games with the Avalanche/Nordiques. Budaj made his 00th career appearance on Oct. 8, joining Roy (478) and Bouchard (5) as the only goaltenders in franchise history to reach 00 games. HEJDUK HOT Milan Hejduk has totaled points (g/8a) during a current six-game point streak, which includes four multi-point efforts.

HIGHEST SCORING TEAM IN THE LEAGUE The Avalanche is averaging.46 goals-per-game, best in the National Hockey League. The Avs have scored 8 goals over their last four games (4.5 per contest), including in the past two games. Colorado has scored the most 5-on-5 goals in the league (8) and is tied with Atlanta for the most third-period goals with 5. On the flip side, the Avalanche has given up an average of.54 goalsper-game, 9th in the NHL. AVALANCHE & CANUCKS Tonight is the second of six meetings between the Avalanche and Canucks in 00-. Vancouver won the first meeting 4- in overtime on Oct. 6 at Rogers Arena. Colorado finished -4-0 against Vancouver last season, --0 at home and --0 on the road. All-time, the Avalanche/Nordiques are 65-45-5-6 against the Canucks, their second-most wins versus any opponent (68 vs. Hartford/Carolina). Since moving to Denver, the Avs are 49-4-7-6 against Vancouver. That ties for the most wins against a single opponent since the franchise relocated. MOST WINS VS. OPPONENT MOST WINS VS. OPPONENT FRANCHISE HISTORY AVALANCHE HISTORY Carolina/Hartford 68 Vancouver 49 Vancouver 65 Edmonton 49 Edmonton 6 Calgary 45 FAN OF VAN Milan Hejduk has scored 5 career goals against the Canucks (in 68 games), by far his most versus any opponent. It is also the second-most goals of any active player against Vancouver behind Teemu Selanne's 7 (in 65 contests). Hejduk has tallied goals in 6 games at Rogers Arena, the most by a visiting player. HEJDUK SETS PEPSI SCORING RECORD With a pair of assists on Saturday, Milan Hejduk passed Joe Sakic for the most career points at Pepsi Center. Hejduk has 46 points (70g/76a) in 78 regular season games in this building, while Sakic had 44 points (9g/5a) in 97 games at Pepsi Center. Hejduk s 70 goals are already an arena record. MOST CAREER POINTS AT PEPSI CENTER Milan Hejduk 46 (70g/76a) Joe Sakic 44 (9g/5a) Alex Tanguay 07 (67g/40a) Peter Forsberg 69 (44g/5a) Paul Stastny 55 (54g/0a) YOUNG GUNS Colorado's average age is 6.5 years old, tied with Edmonton for the second-youngest active roster in the league behind Toronto (6.4). RECORD STREAK FOR LILES John-Michael Liles opened the year with assists in each of his first nine games, setting a new NHL record for the longest assist streak by a defenseman to start a season. He broke the previous mark of eight consecutive games with an assist by Ottawa s Filip Kuba to open the 008-09 campaign. Liles' nine-game assist streak was the longest to begin a season in franchise history and the longest by an Avalanche/Nordiques defenseman at ANY point of a season.

NOW LET'S TALK POINT STREAKS Liles was the first NHL defenseman to record points in each of his team s first nine games since Chicago s Doug Wilson began the 98-8 season with a 0-game point streak. Liles' nine-game run was the longest point streak to start a season in Colorado Avalanche history, breaking the previous mark of eight straight games with a point by Joe Sakic to open the 999-000 campaign. It was by far the longest point streak by an Avalanche/Nordiques defenseman to start a season and the longest by a Colorado defenseman at ANY point of a year, topping Sandis Ozolinsh's eight game stretch in 996-97. APPROACHING MILESTONES Chris Stewart needs one point for 00 career points and two goals for 50 career goals. Joe Sacco needs one win for 50 victories as an NHL head coach. PRIDE OF NORWAY Jonas Holos, who has dressed in each of the last seven games, picked up his first NHL point with an assist on Oct. 8 at Calgary. The Sarpsborg, Norway native made his NHL debut on Oct. 6 at Nassau Coliseum, becoming only the sixth Norwegian-born player to ever appear in an NHL game. He joined Espen Knutsen, Bjorn Skaare, Patrick Thoresen, Ole-Kristian Tollefsen and Anders Myrvold, who played four games for the Avalanche in 995-96. Colorado's sixth selection (sixth round, 70th overall) in the 008 Entry Draft, Holos has been a staple of Norway s national teams over the past few years. He represented his country at the 00 Olympics in Vancouver, where he led the entire tournament by averaging 8:56 of ice time per game.
