Kulak Locked In for Five

The Colorado Avalanche just locked down their blue line for the next half-decade, signing defenseman Brett Kulak to a five-year extension through 2031. Kulak, a steady veteran since joining in 2026, played all 83 regular-season games last year and hit his 600th NHL game — plus his 100th assist. He was a playoff hero too, scoring the OT winner in Game 5 against Dallas to send Colorado to the Western Conference Final. With over 130 career points, 370+ games played, and Stanley Cup Final experience, Kulak’s reliability and postseason poise make this extension a smart, strategic move for a team hungry for more hardware.
