No. 30: Colorado Avalanche

Previous: No. 30

Record: 13-31-2 (28 points)

The Avs don’t look to be moving out of the bottom spot in the standings any time soon. With only 28 points, they’re currently trailing the next lowest team by 10 points. They haven’t won a game since January 6th, and before that since December 23rd (both games won in overtime). This must not be a very fun place to play right now. I wonder what player(s) will be moving to a better team at trade deadline.
