The Colorado Avalanche entered the season with high hopes, but their performance has fallen short. While stars like Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar are excelling, the team struggles with goaltending, currently ranked last in goals against. Injuries and suspensions are also impacting their roster, but the core issue appears to be in net.

Despite being second in the league for shot suppression, the Avalanche's defensive woes stem from inadequate goaltending. To regain elite status, they must address this critical position and ensure full health across their roster.
