Off-Season[]

On June 16, 2011, the Avalanche promoted former player Adam Deadmarsh to assistant coach.^[2] Deadmarsh will take Steve Konowalchuk's place behind the bench, as Konowalchuk has accepted the head coaching position for the Western Hockey League's Seattle Thunderbirds.

Captain Adam Foote retired.

Regular season[]

The Avalanche retired Peter Forsberg's number 21 jersey on opening night, October 8.^[3]

On November 14, the Avalanche named Milan Hejduk as the third captain in Avalanche history.^[4]

The Avalanche had the fewest power-play opportunities of all 30 teams, with just 223.^[5]
