A.J. Greer scored his first NHL goal, the sixth Avalanche player this season to record his first marker and second in as many games.

Andrew Agozzino registered his first on Monday against Vegas while Dominic Toninato netted his on Feb. 14 at Winnipeg. Sheldon Dries and Vladislav Kamenev both accomplished the feat on Nov. 1 at the Calgary Flames, while Ryan Graves scored his first on Jan. 4 versus the New York Rangers.

"It is great, it really is cool to see and I think we all know what it feels like and we all can relate to how exciting that is," captain Gabriel Landeskog said. "Seeing the pure joy on Aggy's face last game and then Greersy's tonight, it really is great to see and something that I think everybody can relate to in here."

It's the most players the Avs have had tally their first NHL goal in a season since the 2010-11 campaign (seven).
