The 2016-17 Colorado Avalanche season was the 38th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 22, 1979, and 21st season since the franchise relocated from Quebec prior to the start of the 1995-96 NHL season. Colorado did not make the playoffs for the third consecutive year and also finished the season with their fewest points since moving to Denver in 1995, and their fewest since 1990-91. Their 22 wins were easily the fewest in the Colorado portion of franchise history, and their fewest since 1991-92. The team also became the first team since the 2004-05 NHL lockout (and the subsequent start of the salary cap era) to finish with a sub-.300 points percentage.
