Having entered the All-Star break on a hot streak, the Colorado Avalanche feel they’re rounding into form in time for another Stanley Cup run.

“I think we can win it again,” said Nathan MacKinnon, per NHL.com’s Tracey Myers.

After cruising to the Central Division title last season and posting a dominant 16-4 playoff record, the Avalanche have struggled to find the same consistency this campaign. Gabriel Landeskog, Cale Makar, Nathan MacKinnon, Valeri Nichushkin, and Josh Manson have all missed significant time in 2022-23, but Colorado’s recent surge has vaulted it into the second wild-card spot.

When the Avalanche are back at full strength, MacKinnon believes they’ll be difficult to stop.
