Semyon Varlamov, the 25-year-old goaltender of the Colorado Avalanche, recorded 33 saves and stopped both shootout attempts he faced in a 2-1 win Thursday night over the New Jersey Devils.
The Russian goalie has helped lead the Avalanche to their 30th win of the season, which matches the 2000-2001 team as the fastest club in franchise history to reach 30 victories in 47 games.
Varlamov, who started his NHL career with the Washington Capitals organization in 2006, has not lost a game in regulation since December 10, posting a 10-0-5 record since that 2013 date.

Black Monday usually happens the day after the final NHL regular-season games.
It’s the day when owners and general managers fire their coaches after a disappointing season.
Joe Sacco was fired on Sunday after the Colorado Avalanche lost to the Minnesota Wild 3-1 in their final game.
The Avs missed the playoffs for the third straight season.
Colorado, usually a playoff contender, never was able to get going in the 48-game season and finished last in the Western Conference at 16-25-7 for 39 points.
Sacco, in four seasons, had a record of 130-134-30. He leaves with one year on his contract.
A former NHL Right winger, Sacco played from 1990-2003 with Toronto, Anaheim, New York Islanders, Washington and Philadelphia.

COLUMBUS, O. — The Columbus Blue Jackets are getting better with each game. They suffered several one-goal losses.
The players have said that they have to play a complete game tow in those one-goal losses into wins.
Artem Anisimov celebrates game-winning goal
On Sunday, they played that complete game in an overtime win over the Colorado Avalanche, 2-1. They played toe-to-toe with the more talented Avs. And won the game on a goal from a player who limped to the dressing room in the first period with a leg injury.
Artem Anisimov blocked a shot and had to go to the dressing room. He was in so much pain that head coach Todd Richards was told by the medical staff that his return was unlikely.
Out of nowhere, Anisimov came back for the opening faceoff of the second period.
His return was a blessing in disguise as he scored the game-winning goal at 2:26 of overtime before 13,778 at Nationwide Arena.
The Blue Jackets were on 4-on-3 power play, when Anisimov snapped a wrister which beat Avalanche goaltender Semyon Varlamov to the near post.

The win allowed the Jackets to post a three-game posts streak of 1-0-2.
Tim Erixon (20) played a solid game
The ageless Vinny Prospal scored his team-leading eighth goal of the season early in the third period to tie the game at 1-1.
The Avs had gone ahead at 12:35 of the second period on P.A. Parenteau goal.
CBJ goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky had 18 saves against a Colorado team which saw itself defensing its territory all night as the Jackets put up 34 shots on goal.
THREE STARS OF THE GAME
* Artem Anisimov, CBJ Center: Tough player, keeps on ticking.
* Tim Erixon, CBJ Defenseman: Received plenty of ice time, 23:38 and provide the assist on Anisimov’s goal.
* Ryan Johansen, CBJ Center: Played a big role with 19:07 of ice time and won 12 of 18 faceoffs.
