It’s a pretty simple argument to make, but the Colorado Avalanche is the best team in the NHL right now.
The Avs woke up Friday morning with the most points in the NHL (21) and the best points percentage (.750). Pretty cut and dry on the surface, but how Colorado has climbed to the top of the standings might give some people pause about making that statement.
A deeper dive into the numbers not only shows the Avs are the class of the NHL right now — emphasis on right now — but their dominance might be a little undersold at this point.
