The Colorado Avalanche won their 10th straight game, the second-longest winning streak in franchise history, by defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 at Air Canada Centre on Monday.
It is Colorado’s longest streak since they won 12 straight from Jan. 10-Feb. 7, 1999.
Gabriel Bourque, Nail Yakupov, Blake Comeau and Gabriel Landeskog scored, and Jonathan Bernier made 29 saves for the Avalanche (27-16-3), who have not lost since Dec. 27.
Bernier has won nine games in a row for the Avalanche, which is the longest by a Colorado goaltender since Patrick Roy won 11 straight from Jan. 12-Feb. 7, 1999, and is tied for the second-longest streak in franchise history (Stephane Fiset, Oct. 18-Nov. 18, 1995).
Patrick Marleau and Auston Matthews scored, and Frederik Andersen made 23 saves for the Maple Leafs (26-18-5), who are 1-2-3 in their past six games.
“I thought we played well, we had good scoring chances,” Andersen said. “I would have liked to have played a little bit better, but those games happen. I thought we had a chance today if I maybe I could make another big save.”
