Josh Manson has been surprisingly reliable and steady for the Colorado Avalanche to start the season.
The Colorado Avalanche are off to a hot start for the 2025-26 NHL season with a 4-0-1 record through five games. The team's only loss came at the hands of Mikko Rantanen and the rival Dallas Stars. However, the team has looked very impressive at 5-on-5. A sound positional game with downhill pressure has worked in their favor. The only notable issue has been the failure to convert on the power play.
