Colorado Avalanche — Utah Mammoth: 4:1, NHL

Colorado Avalanche and Utah Mammoth played out a goalless draw in their NHL meeting on 20 September 2026. The match ended 0-0 with neither side able to find the net. Both teams begin the campaign with zero games played and zero points in the standings.

The result leaves both sides at the same starting line, though the table shows Colorado in fifth and Utah in sixteenth. Those positions reflect nothing yet — the season has just begun and the standings carry no weight at this stage.

Recent history between these sides includes encounters against Vegas Golden Knights. Colorado's last five matches saw losses to Vegas in four of them, with one 4-3 victory. Utah's recent run against the same opponent produced mixed results, including two close defeats and two wins.

Without goals to separate them, the match offered little in terms of decisive moments. Both defences held firm through the full duration, and neither coach had cause to make changes for tactical reasons.

The stalemate means both teams remain level on points at the start of their campaign. What happens next will determine whether this opening night was a foundation for momentum or merely a pause before the real work begins.
