Avalanche fall 2-0 to Mammoth in preseason finale in Salt Lake City

The Colorado Avalanche concluded their preseason with a 2-0 loss against the Utah Mammoth on September 26. The team, featuring a mostly Colorado Eagles lineup and limited main roster presence, struggled throughout the game. They went into the first period trailing after Jack McBain scored for Utah, followed by a power-play goal from Logan Cooley. Colorado had opportunities to score but could not capitalize, failing on multiple power plays. The absence of Taylor Makar due to unspecified reasons further complicated Colorado's efforts. The Avalanche's next scheduled game is against the LA Kings on September 30.
