Latest news and updates about the Avalanche
The Olympic break was supposed to return the squad to full-health but the Colorado Avalanche have again endured a rash of injuries over the past couple weeks. Now embarking on a lengthy four-game east coast road trip, there’s optimism many of the following can return in the eight days while they are gone, which would […]
Whenever you critique a team that’s racked up 44 wins in 66 games — and was the first in the NHL to hit every major points milestone from 10 through 90 — you risk sounding overly nitpicky. At times, it can even come across as downright foolish. Mark Twain once observed, “It’s easier to fool […]
Evgeni Malkin returned to the Pittsburgh Penguins lineup for the first time since being suspended five games for slashing earlier this month and he made his presence known early and often in a 7-2 Penguins victory over the NHL leading Colorado Avalanche. Malkin was hardly the only Penguins player to show out in a big […]
In a brutal showing tonight where nothing seemed to go right, the Colorado Avalanche got absolutely stomped by the Pittsburgh Penguins by a final score of 7-2.

In the week that was Edmonton Oilers hockey, we saw the highs and lows that are a microcosm of the 2025-26 season. The wins over the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche were both tidy and exciting: showcasing a brand of low-event, structured puck in Nevada, and then a dynamic attack off the rush of…
With the surprising win on Saturday over the league leading Colorado Avalanche, the Winnipeg Jets have managed to pull within 6 points of the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot. That spot is currently being held by the San Jose Sharks, who have played 1 less game than the True Northers, and our club still needs to pass 4 other franchises in standings before they could grab that last post-season berth. So there is a lot of work to be done with only 17 more contests left in the regular sea...
One player this season has fallen from grace in the Colorado Avalanche organization. Over the summer, we had ranked Cooper Gay at 15th on the Top 25 Under 25 and thoughts of him making his NHL debut.

Martin Nečas finally got the Avalanche on the board late in the third period, […]

The Edmonton Oilers went 2-1-1 on their recent four-game road trip, which isn’t bad, but giving up a two-goal lead last game against the St. Louis Blues and losing in overtime certainly stung, letting a valuable point slip away. Nevertheless, there were several positives to take from the trip, including beating a dangerous Colorado Avalanche…
