After becoming the highest scoring defenseman in Colorado Avalanche/Quebec Nordiques history earlier this season, Tyson Barrie moved his name up closer to the top of the franchise's list of goals by a D-man.
The 27-year-old scored twice to help the Avs put together a 3-0 victory against the New Jersey Devils at Pepsi Center on Sunday afternoon.
Barrie's two goals pushed his point total for the season to 50 (nine goals, 41 assists), the third time in his NHL tenure that he has recorded 50 or more points in a year. He had a career-high 57 points last season and 53 in 2014-15.
