The Colorado Avalanche: A Season in Review
A Look Back at the Avs' 2022-23 Season
A Historic Regular Season
The Colorado Avalanche had a historic regular season in 2022-23, finishing with a league-leading 119 points. They led the NHL in goals scored (355) and power-play percentage (35.1%). Nathan MacKinnon had a career year, leading the league in scoring with 126 points. Cale Makar won the Norris Trophy as the league's top defenseman.
A Disappointing Playoff Exit
Despite their regular season success, the Avalanche were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs by the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers won the series in six games, including a 6-5 overtime victory in Game 6. It was a disappointing end to a season that had so much promise.
Looking Ahead to Next Season
The Avalanche will look to bounce back from their playoff disappointment next season. They have a strong core of players led by MacKinnon, Makar, and Mikko Rantanen. They will also be hoping to get a healthy season from Gabriel Landeskog, who missed most of this season due to injury.
Conclusion
The Colorado Avalanche had a season of highs and lows in 2022-23. They had a historic regular season but were disappointed with their playoff exit. They will look to learn from their mistakes and come back stronger next season.
