No. 25: Colorado Avalanche

Previous: 23

Season record: 9-11-1 (19 points)

The Colorado Avalanche are struggling on home ice, posting a 4-6-1 record at the Pepsi Center. With a minus-16 goal differential, the Avalanche continue their long-term trouble scoring goals.

Starting goaltender Semyon Valamov, bothered by nagging injuries, is 5-9 on the season, but backup Calvin Pickard has been super with a 4-2-1 record and 2.44 goals-against average.

Captain Gabe Landeskog has missed 6 consecutive games.
