The Colorado Avalanche are struggling early in the 2024-25 season, suffering a 5-3 defeat to the Boston Bruins, marking their first 0-4 start since 1998-99.
Despite a lackluster first half, the team showed signs of improvement in the latter part of the game, with defenseman Josh Manson noting a sense of desperation among players.
Key players were missing, and the Avalanche's penalty kill was notably weak, allowing the Bruins to capitalize. However, the power play has been a bright spot, with six goals in four games.
