Colorado copied Pittsburgh's feat from November 1995. The team's fantastic seven-week start on Monday when Philadelphia was defeated 7-5, continued 7-3 against the NY Rangers on Wednesday before the night's new seven against Detroit.

Last night, 26-year-old Andre Burakovsky, who played for Malmö before moving to North America in 2013, contributed by scoring two goals.

Colorado has won the last six home games by scoring at least six goals, which is also a record number shared with Quebec from 1982-83 and 1985-86.

Captain Gabriel Landeskog got an assist and scored for the tenth match in a row.

He went out with an injury to the lower body in the second period and then never returned.

Goal scorer played 14 years in Detroit

34-year-old Dan Helm scored in his first match against his old team.

Helm played 14 seasons in Detroit before moving to Denver.

"It's home," said Helm, who has a 2008 Stanley Cup ring with Detroit about his old town.

Before the game, a minute of silence was observed for former Denver Broncos (American football) player Demaryius Thomas, who was found dead in his home in Atlanta on Thursday, only 33 years old.
