After owning regular seasons in recent years but falling short in the playoffs, the Avalanche remained dominant throughout the playoffs, going 16-4 on their way to their first Stanley Cup since 2001, knocking off two-time champion Tampa Bay in six games. The biggest change in the Avs’ quest to repeat will be in goal, as Darcy Kuemper signed on as a free agent with Washington. Colorado will go with Rangers backup Alexandar Georgiev and Pavel Francouz, who was 4-0 as a starter in last year’s playoffs while Kuemper dealt with an eye injury. The cornerstone pieces of Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Gabriel Landeskog, Valeri Nichuskin, Cale Makar, and Devon Toews all return.
