Colorado Avalanche fans are still buzzing from the team's Stanley Cup victory in 2025, but what would their season look like if the NHL adopted a 3-2-1 point system, similar to the one used in the American Hockey League? In a scenario where the Avalanche's 2025-26 regular season is reimagined under this new point system, fans can expect a significant shake-up in the standings. Under the 3-2-1 system, wins would be worth three points, regulation losses two points, and overtime/shootout losses one point. This change would likely reward teams that dominate games and punish those that struggle to secure victories. For the Avalanche, a team known for their high-scoring offense and stingy defense, the new point system could either amplify their strengths or expose their weaknesses. With a revamped playoff format and new point values, the team's chances of repeating as Stanley Cup champions would be put to the test in this hypothetical scenario.
