Teams have passed the quarter-mark of the NHL season and standings are clarifying around contenders. The Colorado Avalanche lead the league with a 16-1-5 record, averaging 4.00 goals per game and totaling 88 goals. Nathan MacKinnon has 17 goals and 37 points in 22 games, Cale Makar has 29 points in 22 games, and Martin Necas has 28 points. Colorado extended a 13-game point streak, going 11-0-2 and recorded a shutout of the Chicago Blackhawks. Scott Wedgewood leads NHL goalies with 13 wins, a 2.09 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage. The Toronto Maple Leafs sit 9-10-3 at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and trade rumblings around the league have produced little concrete action.
