Clad in their 1938 Miami Clippers-inspired Winter Classic uniforms, the Cats survived some early pressure and opened the scoring 6:27 into the tilt when a determined Bennett stole the puck from Sam Malinski, drove to the net and doggedly worked ...
Avalanche to wrap up back-to-back set in Florida today, Trent Miner possibly to start in goal for Colorado as Coloradonlooks to win their 11th straight.

Fresh off a rather lackluster performance at Winter Classic, the Florida Panthers (21-16-3) return to Amerant Bank Arena to play host to the juggernaut that is the Colorado Avalanche (31-2-7) this evening.
The Panthers were the better team on the stat sheet, but the scoreboard told a completely different story as the New York Rangers rolled to a 5-1 victory in front of a sold-out crowd at LoanDepot Park on Friday. Sam Reinhart scored the Panthers only goal, on the power play, with the ass...
Brock Nelson scored two power play goals and Nathan MacKinnon added his own awarded empty net goal plus three primary assists as the Colorado Avalanche erased a two-goal deficit in the third period to beat the Carolina Hurricanes 5–3 on Saturday night at Lenovo Center.

Brock Nelson had two goals, the Hurricanes couldn’t get any production outside of the top line, and Frederik Andersen’s best effort in a while went for not as the best team in the NHL Colorado Avalanche came back from a 3-1 deficit in the third to defeat the Carolina Hurricanes 5-3. Both teams played a […]
People are often motivated to make a resolution when the New Year begins. The Colorado Avalanche seem to have made their resolution a few months early this season.

Cue up “Brass Bonanza,” dig out your green and blue, and grab the tissues as there is a LOT going on tonight in Raleigh. The Colorado Avalanche come to town to take on the Carolina Hurricanes, but they do so dressed as their previous iteration: The Quebec Nordiques. It’s a full-on uniform rematch of the […]
It's been a tough week for Colorado Avalanche goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood, who is having an unreal season in 2025-26. Blackwood was first snubbed off of Team Canada's Olympic team, and left off for goaltenders he has better numbers than, and then it went from bad to worse on the ice, as the Avs have placed Blackwood in injured reserve. The 29-year-old netminder is out due to a lower-body injury and Blackwood will be re-evaluated after the current Avalanche road trip. The team has called up ...

Prior to ringing in the New Year, the Colorado Avalanche had one more win to add to their impressive totals in the 2025-26 season.

With three nights off last week, we didn’t have as many games as usual this week. That means that our rankings won’t move all that much from last time. And more importantly, it means fewer opportunities to learn anything new. That’s bad news for me, because there are a handful of teams where I need all the information I can get, because I just can’t figure them out. I’m not clueless about absolutely everyone. I know that the Avalanche are good, and that the Blackhawks are bad, and that all of ...
