The 2013–14 Colorado Avalanche season was the 35th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 22, 1979,[1] and 19th season since the franchise relocated to Colorado to start the 1995–96 NHL season. The Avalanche managed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since the 2009–10 season.

Off-season

On May 23, 2013, the Avalanche named former goalie Patrick Roy as their new head coach and vice president of hockey operations.[2]

Regular season

On October 30, 2013, goaltender Semyon Varlamov turned himself into Denver police on charges of kidnapping and assault.[3][4] The charges were later dismissed.[5]

Four players were chosen to represent their country at the 2014 Winter Olympics: Matt Duchene (Canada), Gabriel Landeskog (Sweden), Paul Stastny (United States), and Semyon Varlamov (Russia).[6]
