Tonight, there’s a clash of natural disasters. PNC Arena will host the two best teams in the NHL. It’s the league-leading Colorado Avalanche who come to town and they will be the Carolina Hurricanes opponent tonight. In a game where both teams are hunting division, conference, and even President’s trophy banners, they go head to head in a game that is going to ripple across the hockey world.
Colorado comes into this game to play their third game in four nights. They are coming off a loss in New Jersey where they were playing on back-to-back nights after defeating the New York Islanders the night prior.
