One of the questions that the Colorado Avalanche faced entering the 2025-2026 season was whether or not Jack Drury could successfully fill the third-line center role for the team. The answer has been a resounding “yes” and then some.
Through the first 16 games of the season, it is clear that Jack Drury has left no question that he is up to the task of being the third-line center for the Colorado Avalanche. In fact, his play has gone beyond just being “good enough” to the point of being completely trusted and relied upon by Jared Bednar, especially in key moments of each game.
