Five wins, zero losses. Has any NHL team ever gone 82-0-0? (That’s been a frequent inside joke between me and Terry Frei over the years).

Right now, there’s just no stopping the Colorado Avalanche. On a night the Avs had some rough moments, they just wiped them quickly away with quick bursts of all-around A-List talent, starting with Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar and Mikko Rantanen. Final score: Avalanche 6, Hurricanes 4.
