 DENVER (AP) - Peter Stastny didn't mean to be rude by leaving the dinner party so abruptly Tuesday night.
But time got away from the Hockey Hall of Famer and he had to rush home to watch his son, Paul, a rookie forward with the Colorado Avalanche, attempt to make team history. The father turned on the television in his St. Louis home just in time to see his son score two first-period goals, and assist on another, in Colorado's 4-3 win over Calgary.
With his three-point night, Paul Stastny broke the record for most points (53) by an Avalanche rookie since the team moved to Denver. The record had belonged to Alex Tanguay, who had 51 points in 1999-2000.
