Avalanche Riding Wave From Successful 2025-26 Campaign
Colorado's 2025-26 campaign saw the franchise set a single-season franchise record for points, in addition to winning the Central Division and Presidents' Trophy while also advancing to the Western Conference Final.
How the Avalanche start 2026-27 could also be an indicator of repeating this success, as the Avs began their 30th season without losing in regulation for the first eight games.
The Avs will also be riding a wave of an increase in attention due to Cale Makar's recent offseason signing of an eight-year contract extension through the 2034-35 season featuring a $20.4 million Average Annual Value (AAV) and worth a total of $163.2 million — making Makar the highest-paid player in NHL history.
Colorado will host the Los Angeles Kings on Sept, 30 to open the regular-season. The Avalanche will also see 16 nationally broadcast games in the United States throughout the year.
