The Colorado Avalanche are showing signs of a resurgence, despite a significant point deficit to the record-breaking Winnipeg Jets. The Avs are on a nine-game winning streak and believe they can still climb the standings with a strong finish to the season.
Cale Makar of the Colorado Avalanche shoots on Eric Comrie of the Winnipeg Jets during the third period of the Avs’ 4-2 win at Ball Arena in Denver on Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024. The Winnipeg Jets set an NHL record for the best start in league history and continue to sit at or near the very top of the standings.A Central Division title and potentially the No.
“It’s more about the way we’re playing in order to have success long term and at the right time of year.” The penalty kill is much improved, in large part because of the improved goaltending. The power play went through a rough stretch but has scored four times during this five-game winning streak. The Avs still haven’t been a consistently strong team at even strength. All of the injuries to key players have likely played a role in that. A lack of confidence in the goaltending earlier in the season may have played into it as well.
That’s going to make the Avs a very dangerous team in the second half of the season, whether or not they can chase down the Jets at the top of the Central Division or not.
