UPCOMING GAMES Sun, Aug. 2 vs. ST. LOUIS 4:30 p.m. (Altitude / 92.5) Wed, Aug. 5 at Dallas 4:30 p.m. (Altitude / 92.5) Sat, Aug. 8 vs. VEGAS TBD (Altitude / 92.5)

TODAY The Avalanche begins their three-game round-robin this afternoon against the St. Louis Blues at Rogers Place in Edmonton. The Avs will face Dallas on Wednesday and Vegas on Saturday to wrap up the round-robin. The top four seeds in each conference will play each other to determine who are the No. 1-4 seeds when the first round begins.

AVS PLAYOFF BOUND FOR THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR; POST THIRD-HIGHEST POINTS PERCENTAGE SINCE MOVING TO DENVER The Avalanche finished second in the Central Division and the Western Conference with 92 points in 70 games. The Avs ended two points behind St. Louis (94) but played one fewer game than the Blues when the regular season was paused on March 12 and eventually concluded. Colorado’s 37 regulation wins—the first tiebreaker—were four more than the next closest Western Conference team (St. Louis 33). The Avs’ 92 points tied Tampa Bay for third in the NHL behind only the Blues and (100). The Avalanche clinched a playoff berth for the third straight year, which ranks as the third-longest run in franchise history. The Nordiques/Avalanche made 11 straight trips to the postseason from 1994-95 to 2005-06 and made seven straight from 1980-87. Colorado’s .657 points percentage this season was its third highest since relocating to Denver, trailing only the 2000-01 team (.720) and the 2013-14 squad (.683).

POSTSEASON PRODUCTION Nathan MacKinnon has 29 points (11g/18a) in 25 career playoff games, the highest points-per-game average (1.16) among active skaters and the eighth highest all-time among players who have appeared in at least 25 playoff contests.

ROAD WARRIORS Colorado led all teams in road wins (24) and road points (50) this season. The 24 victories equaled the second-most away wins in franchise history, two shy of the record set in 2013-14. This year’s Avalanche team played four fewer road contests than that 2013-14 squad. The Avs, who had three road trips of five or more games for just the second time in franchise history (also 1999-00), went a combined 11-4-1 on those three trips.

GETTING OFFENSIVE Colorado finished this season tied for third among all teams in goals scored (236) and ranked fourth in goals-per-game (3.37). The Avs shared the league lead in 5-on-5 tallies (162). Colorado led all teams in both first period (73) and second period (95) goals. The Avalanche’s +46 goal differential was the best in the Western Conference and third in the NHL.

THE PUCK STOPS HERE Colorado’s ranked sixth in the league in team goals-against average (2.69), finishing among the NHL’s top 10 in this category for the first time since 2002-03. The Avs ranked fourth in team save percentage (.913). Pavel Francouz ended the season tied for fifth in the NHL in save percentage (.923) and ranked seventh in goals-against average (2.41). He was the first Avalanche netminder to finish among the league’s top 10 in BOTH categories since David Aebischer in 2003-04.

FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED The Avs finished the season 17-5-2 in their last 24 games, 14-4-2 in their last 20 and 9-2-1 in their last 12. Colorado had the NHL’s second-best record since Jan. 16 and Feb. 4.

FIRST AND FOREMOST Colorado scored the first goal of the game 43 times this year, most in the NHL. The Avalanche’s 30 wins when scoring first (30-6-7) tied Tampa Bay for the league lead. The Avs led all teams with 73 first-period goals.

IN WITH THE NEW Offseason additions Andre Burakovsky (20), Nazem Kadri (19), Joonas Donskoi (16) and Valeri Nichushkin (13) all finished among the Avalanche’s top- seven goal scorers, accounting for 68 (almost 30%) of the club’s 236 goals. If you also include offseason signing Pierre-Edouard Bellemare (nine), these five additions had 77 of the 236 goals (33%).

CARRYING THE LOAD Nathan MacKinnon led the Avalanche and finished fifth in league scoring with 93 points (35g/58a) in 69 games. He finished 43 points ahead of Colorado’s second-leading scorer, Cale Makar (50), the largest gap of any team since the 2007-08 (Alex Ovechkin 112, Nicklas Backstrom 69). The 43-point difference was the largest gap between the top-two scorers in Avalanche history and the second largest in franchise history. In 1990-91, Joe Sakic (109) finished 50 points ahead of (59) with Quebec.

MA(C)KING HIS MARK MacKinnon paced the club with 93 points, becoming the first player in franchise history to lead the team in scoring for four straight seasons. He was the first Avalanche player to post three consecutive seasons of 90 or more points since the team relocated to Denver, joined Joe Sakic as the only Colorado players to post three straight 30-goal campaigns and also joined Sakic and as the only Colorado skaters to record three straight 50- assist seasons. MacKinnon set a career high with 29 multi-point games, the most by an Avalanche player since Forsberg had 29 in 2002-03. Nathan ranked fifth in the league in points-per-game (1.35), the highest average by a Colorado skater (min. 50 points) since Forsberg in 2003-04 (1.41).

TAKING IT ONE MONTH AT A TIME Colorado finished 8-2-2 in October, 8-6-0 in November, 7-5-2 in December, 5-2-2 in January, 11-3-1 in February and 3-2-1 in March. It marked the first time Colorado posted a winning record in each of its first six months of a season since 2000-01.

MARK OF CONSISTENCY The Avalanche’s consistency shown here in 20-game segments: Game 1-20 (first 20 games)...... 12-6-2 Game 21-40 (second 20 games)...... 11-7-2 Game 41-60 (third 20 games)...... 12-5-3 Game 60-70 (final 10 games) ...... 7-2-1

NEXT MAN UP The Avs posted the NHL’s third-best record despite having lost 223 man games due to injury. That list included lengthy injuries to key players such as Mikko Rantanen (28 games missed), Cale Makar (13), Nazem Kadri (19), Gabriel Landeskog (16), Philipp Grubauer (20), Andre Burakovsky (12), Erik Johnson (11) and Matt Calvert (19).

ALL HAIL CALE Cale Makar finished second among NHL rookies in scoring with 50 points (12g/38a) in 57 games. Makar’s 0.88 points-per-game average led all rookies and tied for the third-highest single-season total by a rookie defenseman in NHL history (min. 50 GP). Only (1.04 in 1988-89) and Larry Murphy (0.95 in 1980-81) averaged more. Makar paced all rookie blueliners with 12 goals and tied for first among all rookies with four game-winning tallies. His 0.21 goals-per-game average was the highest by a first-year defenseman since 2015-16 (Shayne Gostisbehere, 0.27). Makar and Vancouver’s , who led all rookies with 53 points in 68 games, became the first defensemen to rank 1-2 in rookie scoring in the NHL’s modern era (since 1943-44). Overall, only 17 rookie defensemen in NHL history have reached the 50-point mark in a season, with Makar and Hughes the first since Vladimir Malakhov (52) in 1992-93 with the NY Islanders.

THAT’S A PLUS Ryan Graves led the NHL with a +40 plus/minus rating, becoming the first Avalanche player to lead the league in that category since and Peter Forsberg (+52) in 2002-03. Graves’ +40 mark was the highest ever by a Colorado defenseman and tied for the second-highest rating by a blueliner in franchise history (Quebec’s Mario Marois was +49 in 1983-84). Graves was the first NHL defenseman to finish +40 or better in 10 years, since Jeff Schultz was +50 with Washington in 2009-10. Graves was a “plus player” in 35 of his 69 games and posted a “minus” rating only 11 times.

IRON G Samuel Girard was one of two Avalanche players to appear in all 70 contests this season (also Matt Nieto). Girard has dressed in 220 consecutive regular-season games, the third-longest ironman streak ever by an Avs defenseman.

YOU HAD TO BE A BIG Nathan MacKinnon led the NHL in shots for the second straight year with 318. He has recorded a shot in 220 consecutive games, the second-longest streak in franchise history (227, Joe Sakic, 1995-99). MacKinnon’s streak is the second-longest active run behind Dougie Hamilton (294 straight). MacKinnon tied a single-game franchise record with 12 shots on Nov. 1 vs. Dallas.

PLAYOFF Colorado was a league-best 3-0 in overtime last postseason. The Avalanche/Nordiques are 40-29 all-time in playoff overtime, 30-20 since moving to Denver. Five current players have scored a playoff OT goal.
