Player Spotlight: Tyson Barrie

Barrie registered his 200th career assist against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday, becoming the third defenseman in Avalanche/Nordiques franchise history to reach the 200 career helper milestone. Barrie also notched his 62nd career goal, matching Rob Blake for third place on the franchise list for goals by a defenseman. The Avs' blueliner has a +12 plus-minus rating this season, tied for second in the league and tops among NHL defensemen.

On Nov. 7, Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Bourque skated with children fighting cancer and their families at a Break the Ice event at Pepsi Center. Matt Nieto and Colin Wilson served dinner to families in need at the Denver Rescue Mission.

Quotable

"That one is cool because Blakey was my favorite defenseman growing up, and I wore No. 4 because of him. I ended up playing for Colorado, so fairy book ending for me, it's cool. It's not really something I pay too much attention to, but anytime I can pass Blakey in something I take pride in that." - Avalanche defenseman Tyson Barrie on scoring his 62nd career goal and tying Rob Blake for third place on the Avalanche/Nordiques franchise list for goals by a defenseman
