DENVER (AP) — Alex Newhook scored the go-ahead goal with 1:33 left, sending the Colorado Avalanche past the Ottawa Senators 7-5 on Monday night for their fifth straight victory.
Jared Bednar earned his 193rd win with Colorado, tying Bob Hartley for most by an Avalanche coach.
“Well, it feels good and I’ll take it,” Bednar said. “I’m more excited about getting the two points tonight on a night we didn’t play very well.”
Michel Bergeron has the franchise record for wins with 265, all with the Quebec Nordiques.
Zach Sanford got his first career hat trick for Ottawa but it wasn’t enough as the team played its first game in a week.
