RECENT TRANSACTIONS - Oct. 11: FLA acquires F Brody Sutter in exchange for F Connor Brickley. Sutter assigned to Springfield (AHL). - Oct. 21: F Kyle Rau recalled from Springfield (AHL). CAT STATS • The Panthers enter tonight's game as the only team in the NHL yet to allow a power-play goal. The Cats' PK has gone a perfect 8-8. • In three of Florida's four games of the season, the Panthers have out-shot their opponents: Oct. 13 vs. NJD: 34-24, Oct. 15 vs. DET: 38-22, Oct. 18 at TBL: 31-28. Florida was out-shot on Thursday night vs. WSH by one shot: 29-28. • The Panthers own a 56.6% faceoff win percentage (23-30) in their defensive zone, ranking them tied for fourth in the NHL. • Jonathan Marchessault recorded four points (2-2-4) in only his first two games as a Panther. Marchessault notched the first Florida goal of the season on Oct. 13 vs. NJD before recording a career-high three points (1-2-3) on Oct. 15 vs. DET. He currently is tied with Aleksander Barkov for the team lead in scoring with five points (2-3-5).

• 20-year old Aaron Ekblad (27 G) is two goals shy of passing Bryan McCabe, Dmitry Kulikov and Brian Campbell (each with 28 goals) for sole possession of fifth all-time in franchise history for goals by a defenseman. • Vincent Trocheck enters tonight's game leading Florida with a 57.1% faceoff win percentage (30-40) and has won 71.4% (5-7) of his faceoffs taken while shorthanded. • All four new skaters signed by Florida this past summer have recorded points over the Panthers first four games played: Jason Demers (0-1-1), Jonathan Marchessault (2-3-5), Colton Sceviour (2-0-2), Keith Yandle (0-1-1). AGAINST THE AVALANCHE Tonight's game marks the 36th meeting between the two teams with Florida posting a 11-18-3-3 all-time record and 5-12-0-1 home record against the Avalanche. Tonight marks the first of two meetings between the two clubs this season. The Panthers and Avalanche will meet again on Dec. 16 at the Pepsi Center. LAST GAME: On March 3, 2016, the Panthers fell 3-2 to the Colorado Avalanche at the Pepsi Center. With an assist, Jaromir Jagr earned his 1,850th career point tying "Mr. Hockey" Gordie Howe. Florida out-shot Colorado 40-26 in the contest, including 24 shots in the third period. Florida's 24 shots on goal in the third marked a franchise road record for shots recorded in a period. 2015-16 vs. COL (1-1-0) Oct. 27 vs. COL (BB&T Center) - W - Panthers 4, Avalanche 2 (GWG:V. Trocheck) March 3 at COL (Pepsi Center) - L - Panthers 2, Avalanche 3 (GWG: M. Duchene) MATH WIZ Michael Matheson enters tonight's game on a two-game goal streak. The 23rd overall pick of the 2012 NHL Draft scored his second goal of the season on Oct. 20 vs. WSH after scoring his first career goal Oct. 18 at TBL. The 22-year old native of Pointe-Claire, Quebec is currently tied for second among all NHL rookie defensemen with three points (2-1-3) and 12 shots, while ranking tied for first in goals (2). Matheson is among only five rookie defensemen who have averaged 20:00 or more TOI (20:01) this season. ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE BARK? Aleksander Barkov is currently tied with Jonathan Marchessault for the team lead in points (2-3-5) and leads the Panthers with two multi-point games, most recently notching two assists in Thursday's game vs. WSH. Barkov led the Panthers with eight GWG in 201516 to tie Olli Jokinen (2003-04, 2006-07) and Pavel Bure (2000-01) for third in franchise history for single-season game-winning goals and is currently tied with Bill Lindsay for 10th place in franchise history for game-winning goals (13). In 2015-16, the 21-year old center also led Florida in goals (28), power-play goals (9), power-play points (16), shootout goals (5), game-deciding shootout goals (3) and points-per-game (0.89). THE AGELESS WONDER On Thursday, Oct. 20 vs. WSH, Jaromir Jagr scored his 750th NHL goal, becoming only the third player in NHL history to ever reach the milestone. Jagr joins Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe as the only other player to score 750 NHL goals. The 2016 Masterton Trophy winner is expected to play in his 1,634th career game tonight, placing him only one game away from reaching Scott Stevens for seventh all-time in games played. Once Jagr reaches Stevens, the 44-year old native of Kladno, Czech Republic will then be only four games away from reaching Dave Andreychuk's games played mark for sixth all-time (1,639). Jagr is 15 assists away from reaching Paul Coffey for sole possession of fifth all-time in assists and is 17 points away from reaching Mark Messier for sole possession of second all-time in points, ranking him only behind Gretzky in career scoring. Jagr has recorded 49 points (21-28-49) in 42 career games vs. Colorado/Quebec. GAMES PLAYED

JOE GOAL-BORNE Joe Colborne recorded his first career hat trick in the Avalanche's 6-5 season-opening victory over the Dallas Stars on Oct. 15. A look at Colborne's notable evening: • Became the second player in Avalanche history to score a hat trick on Opening Night, joining Paul Stastny, who tallied three goals in the 2007-08 opener vs. Dallas (Oct. 3, 2007). Colborne was the fifth player in franchise history to score a hat trick on Opening Night. • Was the first Avalanche player to record a hat trick in his debut with the team. Was the second player in franchise history to have a hat trick in his first game with the club, as Real Cloutier scored three times in the Quebec Nordiques' inaugural game on Oct. 10, 1979 against the Atlanta Flames. • Was the first Avs player to score two goals in the first period of season opener since Joe Sakic on Oct 10, 1998 vs Ottawa. BARRIE PASSES OZO IN GAME WINNERS Tyson Barrie scored his 12th career game-winning goal in the season-opening victory over the Dallas Stars, passing Sandis Ozolinsh (11) for the most GWG by a defenseman in franchise history. HERE’S TO THE NEW BOSS Jared Bednar was hired on Aug. 25, 2016, becoming the seventh head coach in Avalanche history and the 15th in franchise history. Bednar, 44, guided the Columbus Blue Jackets’ American Hockey League affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters, to the 2016 Calder Cup as AHL champions last season. The 2016-17 campaign marks Bednar’s 15th season in professional coaching and his seventh as a head coach. He posted a 251-158-42 (.603) combined record in his four years as an AHL head coach and two years as ECHL head coach. He guided the South Carolina Stingrays to the 2009 Kelly Cup as ECHL champions. SUCCESS ON OPENING NIGHT Colorado's 6-5 victory on Opening Night improved the franchise's record to 20-10-7 in season openers (.635), the second-best mark in the NHL behind Tampa Bay (15-7-2 .667). The Avalanche/Nordiques are 25-8-4 all-time in home openers (.730), 13-5-3 since moving from Quebec and 11-4-2 at Pepsi Center. IRONMEN Carl Soderberg owns the longest active ironman streak on the team at 173 consecutive games, a career high. Jarome Iginla ranks second at 168 straight games. Iginla has dressed in all 82 games in each of his two years with the Avalanche and in 11 seasons overall, the most 82-game campaigns in NHL history.

AVS FINISH 6-0 IN PRESEASON The Avalanche finished 6-0-0 during the preseason, the NHL's only unbeaten team in exhibition play. Mikhail Grigorenko led the Avs with four goals (4g/0a) and shared the team points lead with Rene Bourque (1g/3a). Grigorenko's four goals, in fact, tied for the League lead. Semyon Varlamov finished second among NHL goaltenders in save percentage (.978) and goals-against average (0.67), while Calvin Pickard ranked sixth (.962) and eighth (1.20) respectively in those categories. The Avs finished 23-for-23 on the penalty kill. STRONG IN SHOOTOUTS The Avalanche finished 4-0 in shootouts last season, the league’s only unbeaten team. The Avs, who led all clubs with 10 shootout wins the previous season (10-4 in 2014-15), have won nine consecutive shootouts, one shy of the franchise record set March 19, 2011 to Jan. 2, 2012. The Avs are 41-13 in their last 54. Semyon Varlamov is 27-14 in career shootouts with a .752 save percentage. His .752 Sv% is tied for the highest all-time (min 100 att), matching Mathieu Garon and Johan Hedberg. He is 23-8 in 31 shootouts as a member of the Avalanche, stopping .771 (96/22). As a team, the Avs own the highest shooting percentage in league history (39.7), and third-highest save percentage (.718). THIS DAY IN AVALANCHE HISTORY Oct. 22, 2011 - Gabriel Landeskog scored twice, including the tying goal with 1:48 left in regulation to force overtime, and Joakim Lindstrom scored the only goal in the shootout as the Avalanche beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 at the United Center. The Avs improved to 6-0 on the road, the longest road winning streak to start a season in franchise history. COACHES CHALLENGES (1-FOR-1) Oct. 18 at Pittsburgh - Evgeni Malkin goal overturned to no goal for interfering with goaltender Calvin Pickard. MILESTONES REACHED • Ben Smith - 200th game (Oct. 20 at Tampa Bay).
