The Avalanche received point productions from 19 of 21 skaters, all of which produced multi-point performances in the Stanley Cup-winning run. Cale Makar, who went on to win the Conn Smythe (MVP of the Stanley Cup Playoffs), paced Colorado with 29 points (8G, 21A) through 20 games and Nathan MacKinnon spearheaded the attack with 13 goals and 24 points through 20 games.
The team benefitted from diverse scoring and a balance of players embracing the big stage as nine different players recorded game-winning strikes. Artturi Lehkonen, who Colorado acquired at the Trade Deadline in March via Montreal, showcased his niche for shining among the brightest of lights as he posted the most game-winning goals with four including the series-clinching strikes in the Western Conference and Stanley Cup Finals.
Defensively, the Avalanche flexed their fine-tuned details and discipline. But even their stalwart defense aside, the team utilized both netminders in Darcy Kuemper and Pavel Francouz. Kuemper received the bulk of the workload with 16 starts, but due to injury, Francouz owned the challenge and through seven games, won six games.
Colorado completed its incredible run with 85 goals scored, a 4.25 goals for per game average, a 2.75 goals against average, 20 power play goals for a 32.8% power-play conversion, an 80.4% penalty kill, 759 hits and 309 blocked shots.
The impressive individual and team efforts aside, this run was filled with prolific and meaningful moments, almost storybook-esque all as the group embraced the journey and etched their names onto the silver siding of Lord Stanley.
