Avalanche comeback falls short, start 0-4 for first time in 26 years

The Colorado Avalanche may have reached the Murphy’s Law portion of the 2024-25 season, and it’s only four games old.

Another injury. A failed comeback attempt was thwarted when the reigning MVP lost the puck at center ice. Stretches of improved play, but also times where they were outclassed.

The end result was a 5-3 loss Wednesday night to the Boston Bruins at Ball Arena, and the club’s first 0-4 start to a season since 1998-99. The shorthanded Avalanche looked overmatched in the first half of the game, but then looked a lot more like itself in the final 30 minutes.
