SUNRISE, Fla. — The Colorado Avalanche showed off its sublime collection of skill, increased depth and ability to play beautiful hockey against the defending Stanley Cup champions on Saturday night. Some of the Avs’ early-season flaws were also on display at Amerant Arena. In the end, Colorado needed a great third period from its goaltender and contributions from nearly the entire lineup to collect a 7-4 win against the Florida Panthers. It didn’t always look great, but the Avs have won seven of their last nine games and 12 of 17 since an 0-4 start. “I think we’re pretty happy with the lineup we’re playing now,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said.

Colorado’s Department of Agriculture is considering a new rule that would require rabies vaccines for puppies, kittens and ferrets imported by pet rescues after several puppies were euthanized earlier this year during a rabies scare. As originally reported by Denver7, the rule would effectively ban the import of animals that are less than 12 weeks old, since younger animals can’t receive the rabies vaccine. Organizations licensed under Colorado’s Pet Animal Care and Facilities Act are already prohibited from importing animals younger than 8 weeks, and animals older than three months must have a rabies vaccine. Nick Fisher, the agriculture department’s PACFA program section chief said the rule change was needed to protect pet owners and their animals from the deadly virus. “It’s a huge consumer protection issue, obviously, and a huge public safety issue,” Fisher said.
