The Colorado Avalanche head into somewhat of an unusual season in 2025-26. The Avs have their captain back in the fold for what looks like a full season. That’s an enormous change from what the team has endured over the last three seasons or so.

With Gabe Landeskog back in the fold, the team has a bona fide top-six winger, while also having their heart and soul back in the mix.
