The Colorado Avalanche have pushed their win streak on home ice into double digits.
Semyon Varlamov stopped all 44 shots he faced as the Avalanche shut out the Montreal Canadiens 2-0 on Wednesday night, and Colorado matched a franchise record with its 10th consecutive home win in the process.
The Avalanche joined the 1983-84 and 1994-95 editions of the Quebec Nordiques as the only teams in club history to win 10 straight contests at home.
Granted, the NHL has played without ties since 2005-06, thereby increasing the frequency of wins league-wide, but the accomplishment is still an impressive one for the Avalanche, who put together a previous win streak of 10 games - including both home and away contests - last month.
Coincidentally, that run was snapped by the Canadiens.
Carl Soderberg and Alexander Kerfoot provided the offense for Colorado on Wednesday night.
