When the Colorado Avalanche and Edmonton Oilers get together, there’s an overflow of offensive firepower available. Four of the top six scorers in the NHL this year, including three of the last four players to win a Hart Trophy.

Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar has provided the latest update on injured captain Gabriel Landeskog, absent from play since 2022.

Jared Bednar had a blunt, one-word summation after Colorado rallied for a 3-2 overtime win against the New York Rangers.

Sam Malinski didn’t need a heart-to-heart, in-depth meeting. He got the message. Malinski, a healthy scratch for the past three games, returns to the lineup Wednesday night in a pivotal Central Division showdown against the Winnipeg Jets at Ball Arena.

Miles Wood has more history with Mackenzie Blackwood than any other member of the Colorado Avalanche. They were teammates for part of one season in the AHL and five years in the NHL with the New Jersey Devils.

Valeri Nichushkin appeared close to a possible return as he practiced with the team but he didn’t make it through the entire workout.

There were so many players on the ice at Colorado Avalanche practice Monday that callup Jason Polin didn’t have a stall in the team’s locker room.

Colorado Avalanche coach Jared Bednar was visibly frustrated with his team's performance after their 3-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Monday.

Valeri Nichushkin was supposed to be out day-to-day when he got injured against the Winnipeg Jets on New Year’s Eve. Head coach Jared Bednar expected him to miss 7-10 days. He was also working his way back during the homestand and there was once a chance he could play on Wednesday against the Jets.

There is no doubting that the Colorado Avalanche have the talent to win a Stanley Cup, but they still appear to be lacking the hunger.

The Colorado Avalanche put up a short performance against division rival Minnesota Wild in their fourth of a five-game homestand. Nathan MacKinnon scores Colorado's lone goal in the 3-1 loss.
