The @Avalanche won their 53rd game, the 2nd most victories in a single season in franchise history.
Colorado's 117 points are now just 2 shy of tying the 2021-22 team (119) for the highest total in a single season in franchise history pic. twitter. com/vtpjJ2cIS2 — Brendan McNicholas (@bmcnich) April 14, 2026 The Flames didn’t realize the typical revenge victory last time and have lost to the Avalanche twice in the last 10 days.
Will they face defeat a third time and be swept altogether? Colorado Avalanche: 53-16-11 The Opponent: Calgary Flames (33-38-9) Time: 7:00 p. m.
