With a record of 5-4-1 with 11 points and tied for third in the Central Division, there is an argument that the Colorado Avalanche could/should have more points, or even fewer, given how some of their games have gone.

With continued strong showings of 5-on-5 play and the stars of the team shining bright, but also a lack of defensive prowess in front of their own goalie and the continued disappointment on the power play, it's been an interesting showing these first 10 games.

Though looking at how they started this season, it shouldn’t be something that should make everyone panic, especially if you look back at the past couple of seasons and compare how they have started, even during their championship season in 2021-22.

From their championship season in 2021-22, here is how the Avalanche's first ten games started each season.

2021-2022: 4-5-1

2022-2023: 5-4-1

2023-2024: 7-3-0

2024-2025: 5-5-0

2025-2026: 5-1-4

2026-2027: 5-4-1

For better or for worse, this is something the Avalanche are familiar…
