For the first time in five years, the Edmonton Oilers will not play the Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Here’s the full schedule for the Avalanche’s first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings.

Nathan MacKinnon has been at the doorstep of winning a major statistical award the past two seasons, and now he finally has one.

Scott Wedgewood joked that all he had to do to win the first major award of his NHL career was not give up 20 goals Thursday night.

Sam Malinski scored in regulation for the NHL-best Avalanche, who have won three of four overall and seven straight road games.

The Kings, with their soft remaining schedule, are the Avs’ most likely opponent and easiest. Take the empty net.
