NHL Quarter Mark Shockers: Which Teams Are Surpassing Expectations—and Which Are Crashing Hard?

Colorado Avalanche: A+
This was an easy grade. The Avalanche have earned points in all but one of their games, which is pretty ridiculous this far into the season. They’ve out-scored their opposition by nearly triple the amount of the second-best team in points differential, and are just as dominant in the underlying metrics. Colorado’s 59 percent expected goal share as of Wednesday not only led the league, but it was nearly 4 percentage points clear of the field. The Avs have been the clear-cut best team in hockey. — Jesse Granger
