General Manager Joe Sakic bought the Colorado Avalanche a little goalie insurance at the trade deadline. On Wednesday night, that decision paid dividends. Devan Dubnyk made 31 saves in his Avalanche debut, J.T. Compher earned a goal and an assist, and Brandon Saad scored the game-winner as the team held on to defeat the St.
Colorado Avalanche
For the first time all season, after the final horn had sound, the Colorado Avalanche skated to center ice of Ball Arena and saluted a crowd. It was a triumphant celebration of what was arguably the best month in Avalanche history, one that propelled them from the playoff bubble to the top of the Honda
The Colorado Avalanche have only two games left against the Anaheim Ducks after Monday’s contest. The Ducks might not care about the team they face on game day, but they have to be glad that Mikko Rantanen is running out of chances against them. Rantanen continued his dominance against the Ducks, and Colorado continued to
Throughout the month of March, the Colorado Avalanche have only suffered two losses in regulation. The team in the mile-high city did this while suffering from many injuries on the roster. With all of this, they needed several healthy pieces to step up from across the roster to have success. Surprisingly, one of those names
So far into the 2020-21 NHL season, the Colorado Avalanche have been plagued with injuries. With many of their star players missing time, they needed someone to consistently be in the lineup, and have an impact — this is where Nazem Kadri has factored in.

The Quebec Nordiques almost didn’t exist. And depending on who you ask, maybe they shouldn’t have existed at all. In fact, their story begins on the other side of the continent, under the considerably warmer skies of San Francisco, California. The Nordiques (roughly translated as the “Northerners” or “Northmen”) were originally called the San Francisco Sea
Coming into this season, it seemed as if the Colorado Avalanche had an abundance of options to bolster their bottom-six. However, through 15 games in, that is no longer the case. The largest issue for the Avalanche this season has definitely been their forward depth. Many had high hopes that the players involved in that
Coming off a week of rest due to COVID-19 protocols, the Colorado Avalanche returned to the ice this week for a three-game series against the second place Vegas Golden Knights, in perhaps their most crucial series yet. The series included a special outdoor game at Lake Tahoe that brought a dazzling landscape to an already gratifying
The Colorado Avalanche are glad to get the band back together. Three players that had recently missed time due to injuries scored goals as the Avalanche dumped the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2 on Saturday just off of Lake Tahoe in Stateline, Nev. The game was held up by a delay of roughly eight hours after
Despite being only a month into the NHL season, despite no fans being in attendance, the bout between the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night held a palpable energy and intensity. The Avalanche, coming off of a COVID hiatus, are chasing the Knights in the standings and needed to make up ground
Nazem Kadri isn’t to everyone’s taste as a player, but you can’t fault him for playing it safe. He’s seldom played safe, and that often got him into trouble. He was all in, all the time.

In today’s NHL rumors rundown, could Sidney Crosby request a trade to a Stanley Cup contender? One scribe said he wouldn’t be surprised if the superstar wound up with a team like the Colorado Avalanche. Still with the Pittsburgh Penguins, did they talk to the Montreal Canadiens about a huge trade and is there interest
If you love great goaltending, then you would have been smitten with Valentine’s Day in Las Vegas. Marc-Andre Fleury and Philipp Grubauer combined for 53 saves on Sunday, but Fleury stopped every shot he faced to lead the Vegas Golden Knights to a 1-0 win over the Colorado Avalanche. Colorado hadn’t played since a gritty
Injuries and a graveyard week of play due to the team honoring COVID-19 protocols, have been the subjects of fireside chats among Colorado Avalanche fans this past week. Yet the Avs stand tied at third place in the Honda West Division, and are in a comfortable place to make the playoffs early on. They have put
The Colorado Avalanche haven’t played a game since Groundhog’s Day and, at the risk of using a played out joke, practice has to be getting pretty repetitive. Colorado’s set to play four games in eight days against the Vegas Golden Knights, with the first two coming on the road with Sunday’s and Tuesday’s games to
The injury bug has struck the Colorado Avalanche again, but maybe it never left. Missing players slashed Colorado’s playoff run short last summer, and the bench is getting pretty thin again for the Avalanche just 10 games into this season. Six players are out, with the most recent being leading scorer Nathan MacKinnon, who only
Just last week, I wrote a column about the Colorado Avalanche’s weekly performance where I indicated that they needed more offense from their depth forwards. Either they somehow read my article, or it was sheer dumb luck because their secondary scoring has kicked it up a notch against the Minnesota Wild. Probably the latter. And
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, there are updates on the Pittsburgh Penguins GM search and what the team expects the top candidates to make a priority. Could one of the potential GMs be coming from an unexpected place? The Washington Capitals will be getting back two of the four players removed from the team for
