The Colorado Avalanche clinched the Presidents’ Trophy following a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames, solidifying their position for home-ice advantage throughout the postseason. With a record of 52-16-10, the Avalanche achieved this milestone with four games remaining in the regular season. Gabe Landeskog opened the scoring late in the first period, while Martin Necas and Nathan MacKinnon also contributed significantly, with MacKinnon scoring his career-high 52nd goal in an empty net. In goal, Mackenzie Blackwood recorded 28 saves, marking his 22nd win of the season. Head coach Jared Bednar indicated he would evaluate player rest strategies in the upcoming games, especially considering some players are returning from injuries. The Avalanche's next game is on April 16 against the Seattle Kraken, just two days before the playoffs begin.
