2025–26 Colorado Avalanche season

The 2025–26 Colorado Avalanche season was the 47th season for the Avalanche as the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that joined the league in 1979, and their 30th playing season since the franchise relocated from Quebec City to Denver before the start of the 1995–96 season.[1] To commemorate the previous iteration of the franchise, the Avalanche wore Quebec Nordiques jerseys in eight games in 2025–26 as part of the franchise's 30th season.[2][3]

After a 3–0 victory against the Nashville Predators on November 22, 2025, and a 1–0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on November 23, the Avalanche recorded back-to-back shutouts on consecutive days for the first time in franchise history.[4]

Following a win over the Vancouver Canucks on December 2, and having compiled an 19–1–6 record, the Avalanche joined the 1979–80 Philadelphia Flyers as the only two teams in NHL history with one regulation loss through 26 games.[5][6]

After a 5–3 comeback win over the Carolina Hurricanes on January 3, 2026, the Avalanche became the first team in NHL history to have only two regulation losses in the first 40 games.[7]

On March 20, the Avalanche became the first team to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs following a 4–1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks, making it to the postseason for the ninth consecutive season.[8] With the Toronto Maple Leafs missing the playoffs for the first time since 2015–16, the Avalanche alongside the Tampa Bay Lightning now hold the longest active playoff streak in the NHL.[9]

In the playoffs, the Avalanche swept the Los Angeles Kings in the first round,[10] and defeated the Minnesota Wild in five games in the second round.[11] They entered the Western Conference final as heavy favorites against the Vegas Golden Knights, who only won 39 games in the regular season.[12][13] However, the series quickly became a disaster for Colorado (including a blown three-goal lead in game 3)[14] as Vegas upset the Avalanche in a sweep and advanced to the 2026 Stanley Cup Final.[15]
