Colorado Avalanche Prepare for 45th NHL Season
Celebrating Team Milestones and Leadership Changes
45 Years of NHL Playoff Appearances
The Colorado Avalanche are gearing up for their 45th season in the National Hockey League (NHL), marking a significant milestone for the franchise. Since joining the league in 1979, the Avalanche have made 44 consecutive playoff appearances, a testament to their consistent success and dedication to excellence.
Team Captains Through the Years
Throughout its history, the Colorado Avalanche has been led by a distinguished group of team captains. On September 4, 2012, Gabriel Landeskog became the fourth captain in franchise history, making him the youngest captain in NHL history at the time.
Landeskog's Injury Update
Unfortunately, Landeskog recently underwent his fourth procedure since 2020, which is expected to have a recovery timeline of 12 to 16 months. The Avalanche will need to find a new captain in his absence, which is sure to be a major storyline as the season approaches.
