NHL
Colorado holds the longest winning streak in the NHL. Their surge reached nine straight games, and they are 11-0-1 in their last 12. Their only loss in that stretch came against San Jose on Nov. 1, a 3-2 overtime result. Since that game, the Avalanche outscored opponents 41-15 and posted back-to-back shutouts over the weekend. Their form is the sharpest in the league.
Scott Wedgewood leads the NHL in wins, ranks third in goals-against average and sits fourth in save percentage. Mackenzie Blackwood returned from offseason surgery and posted a 35-save shutout in Nashville. Colorado’s crease is as stable as any team’s. Their scoring is elite. Nathan MacKinnon leads the NHL with 37 points. Cale Makar remains the top scoring defenseman. Martin Necas provides depth and pace with 28 points.
San Jose enters with improved structure. They recovered from an 0-4-2 start to go 11-5-1 over their last 17. Their young core carries most of the production. Macklin Celebrini sits near the top of the NHL scoring list with 34 points. Will Smith and William Eklund continue elevating their roles. Their defensive habits improved, but they face the league’s best team on the road.

San Jose comes off a strong 3-1 win over Boston. Celebrini led with a goal and an assist. Their defensive discipline stood out. They rank second in blocks and remain competitive in special teams with 15 power-play goals. Their conference record sits at 7-6.
Celebrini drives most of their offense. Will Smith adds 21 points. Their young roster creates pace but still learns situational details. Their ability to match Colorado’s transition speed determines whether they can push this into a tight contest.
San Jose needs structured forechecks, clean exits and crease protection. Any lapse against Colorado becomes a scoring chance.
Colorado continues its most dominant stretch of the season. Their 1-0 win over Chicago highlighted their ability to control games even when scoring slows. Wedgewood stopped all 22 shots. Makar scored the lone goal on a point activation.
The Avalanche lead the NHL in goals and assists. Their depth scoring elevates shifts. Their puck movement remains clean through layers. Their defense prevents extended zone time, and their goaltenders erase second looks.
MacKinnon’s pace dictates matchups. Makar’s mobility drives breakouts. Their home environment at Ball Arena amplifies pressure. With Nichushkin skating again and Kiviranta nearing a return, Colorado continues gaining depth.
