The Avalanche have started the season strong, holding a top-5 spot in the league. The penalty kill has been a major factor in keeping the team ahead of the pack.
The Colorado Avalanche are off to a 5-1-4 start, capturing 14 out of a possible 20 points. That’s a great improvement over the 4-5-1 record to start the 2024-25 season. However, the team has lost its last four games. Special teams has been the major concern among the media and fans alike, though most of that is directed towards the struggling power play.
