"The Colorado Avalanche are on a roll and heading into the second half of the season and have an opportunity to stand among the league's elite in history. With only three losses through 41 gzames, Colorado leads the league with 69 points. They have a chance to end the season with the most points in a season in NHL history."
"The current record is held by the Boston Bruins, who had 135 points during the 2022-23 season. They had a record of 65-12-5 and had the most points by a huge margin. Bruins forward David Pastrnak led the team with 113 points on 61 goals and 52 assists. His 113 points finished third in the league. The Avalanche have a record of 31-3-7 for 69 points and they are led by elite center Nathan MacKInnon, who has 74 points at the half way point."
"Colorado's remaining schedule is in the middle of the pack. The teams left on the schedule have a winning percentage of .553 and a significant number of games left on the schedule are against teams that are at or below .500. 22 of the remaining 41 games are at home. Colorado has a big lead in both points and division lead so with their remaining schedule things could get difficult."
Colorado sits atop the NHL with 69 points through 41 games and a 31-3-7 record, having only three losses so far. The team can potentially finish with the most points in a single NHL season. The single-season points record is 135, set by the Boston Bruins in 2022-23, when they went 65-12-5. Remaining opponents have a combined winning percentage of .553, with 22 of the final 41 games at home and many opponents at or below .500. A 20-day Olympic break from February 5–24 could disrupt Colorado’s momentum. Nathan MacKinnon leads the team with 74 points, Cale Makar anchors the defense, and Scott Wedgewood is having Vezina-caliber performances.
