NHL releases shocking statement concerning two Colorado Avalanche veteran forwards

Two of the Avalanche's additions, Brock Nelson from the New York Islanders and Charlie Coyle from the Boston Bruins, each contributed 13 points in 19 regular-season games with Colorado.

Coby Maeir from NHL.com writes that Nelson netted his first two goals in Burgundy and Blue during a 5-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on March 20th, while Coyle scored his first goal as an Avalanche in the team's 7-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on April 3rd.

Coyle closed out the regular season on a six-game point streak, tallying 11 points (2 goals, 9 assists) during that stretch. The run began with a three-point performance (1 goal, 2 assists) against the Blue Jackets and concluded with another three-point outing (1 goal, 2 assists) in Anaheim.

Here's his first goal as an Avalanche...

As the offseason begins, Nelson is set to become an unrestricted free agent , while Coyle has one year remaining of his current contract. Looking ahead to the 2025-26 season, Nelson is approaching several career milestones; he's 80 games away from 1,000, 14 assists shy of 300, and 13 points from reaching 600.

Coyle is also nearing key benchmarks, needing 50 games to hit 1,000, 11 goals to reach 200, four assists for 300, and 15 points to hit the 500-point mark.
