After 43 regular-season games, the Colorado Avalanche are just past the halfway mark of the season. They are tied for third in the Central Division with 53 points, a 26-16-1 record and a plus-12 goal differential. Considering all the injuries they’ve suffered and the numerous goaltending changes, the team is in a good spot. Just

The NHL season is approaching the halfway mark already, which is crazy to think about because it feels like the season just started, but here we are. We’ve seen some incredible plays from dominant players. From Nathan MacKinnon leading the NHL in points to Leon Draisaitl leading in goals, the NHL has become a star-driven
The Buffalo Sabres couldn’t find a way past Ilya Sorokin on Saturday night,falling 3-0 to the New York Islanders on Long Island. Despite a strong start, outshooting the Islanders 10-6 in the first period, they couldn’t capitalize. Sabres’ starting goaltender James Reimer made 17 saves on 19 shots but conceded goals to Anders Lee and
Despite losing a tight 1-0 game to the Winnipeg Jets, spirits were high for the Colorado Avalanche. Given the challenges they have faced this season, it had to feel good knowing they could go toe-to-toe with the best team in the NHL and come within a hair’s breadth of winning. In a game that most
In their season-opening loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, the weaknesses of the Colorado Avalanche are glaring. Just looking at the lineup, it was evident that the team would need to overcompensate in certain areas but things went off the rails quickly. When all was said and done, the Golden Knights had an impressive 8-4
Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon has won the 2024 Hart Memorial Trophy, awarded annually to the most valuable player to his team, voted by the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association members. MacKinnon also won the 2024 Ted Lindsay Award, and this is his first time winning either trophy. Along with the Ted Lindsay Award, Nathan MacKinnon is
The NHL has revealed the finalists for the Hart Memorial Trophy, awarded to the league’s most valuable player. It’s the three we have talked about nearly the entire season: Nikita Kucherov, Nathan MacKinnon and the reigning MVP, Connor McDavid. While we’ve had an idea of who would be the finalists for some time, the actual
The Nathan MacKinnon show continues. Even in the final game of the regular season with nothing on the line, the former first-overall pick from 2013 is setting records. On this night, he was breaking the Colorado Avalanche/Quebec Nordiques’ single-season franchise record for points with his 140th. The previous one was held by Peter Stastny, who
With just three games remaining in the regular season, the Colorado Avalanche have a chance to secure a good spot in the standings ahead of the playoffs. They will likely finish second in the Central Division as the Dallas Stars have a five-point lead at the top, but they will have home-ice advantage in the
It seems wild to fathom that a player like Nathan MacKinnon who has accomplished so much already had any milestones left to achieve. He’s a Stanley Cup champion, has two 100-point seasons – including the current one – and four others during which he tallied more than or nearly 90 points. Plus that bewildering home point streak
It has been another subpar season for the Columbus Blue Jackets in the NHL standings. With 13 games left in the season, they are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and fourth last across the league. It’s not going to be an easy ride for Ohio’s team to get to game 82 as they
One of the best things about the trade deadline is that it sets the table for exciting divisional races down the stretch. The Atlantic and Metropolitan Divisions have two teams fighting for the top spot while the Pacific Division has four in the running. The best division race, however, is in the Central where three
The New York Rangers are still first in the Metropolitan Division with 88 points as of this writing. Also as of this writing, they will be playing the Carolina Hurricanes tonight, March 12, in a game that could very well be an indicator of who will be in first in the Division when the season
With the announcement that NHL players will be able to participate in the next two Winter Olympics, attention immediately turned toward which players will be most likely to represent their respective countries. It’s the first time the NHL will participate in the Olympics since 2014. When the best players in the world face off against
The Athletic put up an interesting poll this week as the NHL All-Star festivities are set to commence. Asking several NHL players questions about others throughout the league, among the questions asked who is the best NHL player? The most votes went to Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, and Nikita Kucherov. While McDavid still won fairly
With the All-Star Game just around the corner, the Colorado Avalanche are in the midst of a pretty successful stretch. They have won seven of their last nine games, pushing them to the second-best record in the Western Conference at 32-14-3. A driving force behind the recent run of success has been the power play,
With the 2013 NHL Entry Draft more than 10 years old, let’s look back at the top picks to see how their careers have progressed. So, have the top-10 picks managed to live up to expectations, or have they struggled to establish themselves in the NHL? Note: The 2013 Draft took place at the Prudential
Finding the right line combinations is key to any hockey team’s success, and it can often take several seasons to find the perfect trio. Once the right one is in place, two players will usually develop stronger chemistry because of their complementary playing styles. There have been some stand-out duos in the NHL so far
