This record has stood the test of time for the team, as it remains held by Peter Stastny with 21 assists in October 1983 (record set with Quebec Nordiques prior to relocation to Denver). Stastny is also known, of course, for being the father of beloved former Avs forward Paul Stastny. 

Makar has 20 assists in November heading into the final game of the month. It will require a multi-assist game for him to break the long-standing franchise player milestone. Makar is also leading Avs skaters with 32 points (6 goals, 26 assists) through 21 games played this season. 

Puck drop is set for 9 p.m. on Thursday at Mullet Arena in Tempe, Arizona.
