It’s still a tiny sample size, but what a difference a year makes, so far, for the Colorado Avalanche penalty killers.
The entire Avalanche team got off to a slow start a season ago before a huge run to the finish line secured a Central Division title. Nowhere was that more evident than the penalty kill. The Avs allowed nine power-play goals in the first six games of last season, including two in each of the first three contests.
Colorado is two games into its 2023-24 campaign, and the PK has been a perfect 9-for-9 so far.
