The Avalanche was finally forced to overtime Saturday night at the Pepsi Center, but it stayed undefeated with a 3-2 victory against the Arizona Coyotes.
Andre Burakovsky went top-shelf with 91 seconds left in overtime as Colorado improved to 4-0-0 for the season. Burakovsky scored the game-winning goal for the second straight game.
Avs goalie Pavel Francouz made his first NHL start and picked up the win. Nazem Kadri notched his first point, scoring on the power play early in the third period. Colorado got its insurance less than two minutes later when Tyson Jost slammed home a loose puck for his first point of the year.
