LUCKY 13 FOR AVS
The Avalanche bounced back from their second loss of the season to improve their record to 13-2-0, matching the best 15-game start in franchise history (also 1994-95). Goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 30 saves to remain perfect this season (5-0-0). The 36-year-old netminder has a League-best .970 save-percentage and 1.00 goals-against average to go along with two shutouts (T-first).

Patrick Roy won his first coaching match-up versus his former head coach Bob Hartley, with whom he won a Stanley Cup with the Avalanche in 2000-01.

JETS SCORE EARLY AND OFTEN
Bryan Little scored his first of two goals on the night and three other Jets tallied in the first period en route to a 5-0 victory. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Winnipeg’s four-goal first period was the team’s first since relocating from Atlanta and was highlighted by three goals in a span of 5:19 (Little, Olli Jokinen and Eric Tangradi), also the fastest since relocation. The franchise’s most recent four-goal first period came in a 6-3 Thrashers win on Mar. 4, 2010 (Elias). Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec made 41 saves for his 11th career shutout and his first since Mar. 1, 2012.

RIVETING RACE FOR THE 'ROCKET'
Three players -- Anaheim's Ryan Getzlaf, Toronto's Phil Kessel and Winnipeg's Bryan Little -- reached double figures in goals Friday, raising the season total to nine. With those nine being chased by a pack of 25 scorers with seven through nine tallies, the race for the 2013-14 Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy could be among the most wide-open in years.
