The Samara, Russia, native is the fifth Russian netminder in NHL history to reach the 200-win milestone. The only others ahead are Evgeni Nabokov (353), Nikolai Khabibulin (333), Sergei Bobrovsky (225) and Ilya Bryzgalov (221).
He owns a 200-155-43 record in his NHL career. He also has a 170-142-31 mark and 19 shutouts with the Avalanche and ranks second in franchise history in nearly every category.
Colorado's seven goals in the win is a season high and the fifth time this season it has scored six or more tallies. All seven of the Avs' markers were scored by a different player, including three defensemen, taking some pressure off Varlamov between the pipes.
"It brings a lot of confidence when you score so many goals and you just dominated pretty much the whole game," said Varlamov. "Of course, it gives you a lot of confidence as a goalie."
So far this season, his eighth campaign with Colorado, Varlamov is 7-5-2 through 14 games.
Varlamov began the year 4-0-2 in his first six starts, his longest streak without a regulation loss to begin a campaign and the longest to start a season by an Avalanche goaltender since Jean Sebastien Giguere started 7-0-0 in 2013-14.
The 30-year-old goaltender played in his 400th career NHL game on opening night and stopped 20-of-21 shots in the 4-1 win over the Minnesota Wild.
KERFOOT'S 100th GAME:Alex Kerfoot had three assists in the victory, which was his 100th career NHL game. It is the second three-point outing of his career, last accomplished on Oct. 19, 2017 versus the St. Louis Blues.
Kerfoot has tallied 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in the month of November and has 17 points (four goals, 13 assists) in 21 games this season.
Through his 100 games in the league, the Vancouver, British Columbia, native has registered 60 points (23 goals, 37 assists).
The 24-year-old was drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the fifth round (150th overall) of the 2012 NHL Draft and signed a two-year, entry-level deal with Colorado as a free agent on Aug. 24, 2017.
BARRIE MOVING ON UP: Tyson Barrie scored the 63rd goal of his career in the final period, passing Rob Blake for sole possession of third place in the all-time goals by an Avalanche/Nordiques defensemen.
He also had an assist on Matt Calvert's goal in the third to pass Adam Foote and move into second place on the franchise's all-time list of assists by a rear guard.
