Latest news and updates about the Avalanche
Tuesday night’s affair between the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche was a much-anticipated one. After all, the last time these two teams met, the Avalanche laid a 9-1 drubbing on the Oilers in Edmonton that was salt in the wound for a team that had been as shaky as ever to start the season. And…
A couple of players have hit some notable milestones. When the puck dropped between the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night, forward Leon Draisaitl officially dressed in the 852nd game of his NHL career, while fellow forward Trent Frederic appeared in the 400th game of his career in the big leagues. Draisaitl’s appearance…
The Colorado Avalanche are once again riding a five-game winning streak after beating both the Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild via shootout last week, and they’ll look to make it six straight against an Edmonton Oilers team that simply can’t seem to keep the puck out of their own net. Edmonton’s defensive issues — both […]
The Colorado Avalanche edged the Minnesota Wild in a shootout on Sunday, tying the season series in a hard-fought road game for the Wild. Minnesota beat the Avs in a shootout during their first meeting, and each team has blown the other out this year. Colorado beat the Wild 5-1 in December; Mi...
The Colorado Avalanche have been the best team in the NHL all season. They lead the NHL with a record of 43-10-9 and sit seven points ahead of second-place Dallas with a game in hand.

The New York Islanders made a big addition at the trade deadline, landing veteran center Brayden Schenn from the St. Louis Blues in an 11th-hour deal just before the 3pm ET buzzer. Schenn had to be convinced by GM Mathieu Darche & head coach Patrick Roy, however, to waive his no-trade clause before the deal was consummated. The Islanders, as it turns out, didn't have the same luck with their own player, forward Anthony Duclair. According to insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period , h...

I have no idea why anyone makes a big day out of Trade Deadline Day any longer. Everyone was making a big deal about how the Nazem Kadri trade from Calgary to Colorado was a "blockbuster", yet all I did was shrug my shoulders because Colorado added a third-line centerman. Yes, Kadri likely could play higher up in the lineup, but Colorado's lineup doesn't need him in the top-six forward group. For as much as TSN, Sportsnet, and the NHL Network make Trade Deadline Day a thing, it's not. And it s...
For Nazem Kadri, stepping back into Ball Arena carried some serious weight — excitement, emotion, and the unmistakable feeling of returning to a place that still feels like home. “Super excited!” Kadri said about coming back to Colorado and making his return against division foe the Minnesota Wild. The feeling wasn’t a mystery. In fact, […]

DENVER, CO — We are back in the press box at Ball Arena and just in time to see the return of Nazem Kadri, however, before that we got a bit of bad news. It appears that whatever was ailing Gabe Landeskog against Dallas that forced him to go back to the dressing room momentarily, […]
The Colorado Avalanche, boasting the most formidable lineup in the NHL this season, just got a little nastier coming out of the NHL trade deadline. Or, perhaps more fittingly, Naz-tier.

On February 20th in 2015, Colorado Avalanche defenseman Brad Stuart flipped a 92 foot center ice wrist shot past Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford with just over five minutes remaining in the final frame at the United Center.
