The Coyotes will try to win a season-high third straight and extend their point streak in this matchup to seven Wednesday night, when the host Avalanche look to build on their first win in Denver in 2011-12.

Since coach Dave Tippett moved Ray Whitney off the top line with captain Shane Doan and Daymond Langkow and alongside Radim Vrbata and center Martin Hanzal, that new trio has contributed five goals and seven assists in two games.

Whitney scored twice and set up Hanzal’s goal in Thursday’s 5-3 win over New Jersey, and Vrbata scored twice off assists from Hanzal and set up Langkow’s overtime goal Saturday in a 3-2 victory over Los Angeles.

They combined for three goals and five assists last season when the Coyotes went 3-0-1 against Colorado to improve to 5-0-1 in the last six meetings. Phoenix outscored the Avs 13-5 in 2010-11, including 7-2 in two games in Denver.

The Coyotes, who have killed 34 of 37 penalties since opening night, stopped all 12 power-play chances Colorado had last season.

Repeating that effort could be a challenge, as the Avalanche (7-4-0) are 10 for 24 with the man advantage in their last eight games.

They went 1 for 4 on Sunday as Milan Hejduk notched his team-high third power-play goal in a 3-2 victory over the Kings.

The Avalanche, the league leaders with six road wins, had scored twice while dropping their first three in Denver.

Newcomer Semyon Varlamov could help make that happen. The former Washington Capital matched a career high for wins in a month with five after making 30 saves Sunday.

Varlamov has never faced Phoenix and will get his chance to help get a win in what should be a great game to watch and wager on for Wednesday night in the NHL.
