A second-round pick of the Anaheim Ducks in 2018, Groulx had spent his entire career with the Ducks before signing a deal with the Maple Leafs over the summer of 2025. He hasn't been able to figure it out at the NHL level yet, with only one goal and five points across 65 games over three seasons with the Ducks, but he's been a dominant presence for the Marlies thus far.
The Colorado Avalanche are on a roll and heading into the second half of the season and have an opportunity to stand among the league's elite in history. With only three losses through 41 gzames, Colorado leads the league with 69 points. They have a chance to end the season with the most points in a season in NHL history.
