Colorado Avalanche | Avalanche defense corps looks like NHL’s best again as potential franchise-altering decision looms at trade deadline

The Colorado Avalanche defense corps, touted as the best in the NHL before the season, has found its collective form.

Bo Byram has two points in each of the past three games, and looks more like the player who wowed during the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs and less like one who’s scuffled for large parts of this season. Jared Bednar credited a meeting between Byram and assistant coach Nolan Pratt for helping to spark the turnaround.

“We just talked about what I’m doing when I’m at my best and what I’m doing on the ice,” Bryam said after practice Monday.
