In what’s going to be a common theme over the final month of the regular season, the Chicago Blackhawks will face the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night at the United Center.
Of Chicago’s final 16 games, three will be against Colorado. And the Avalanche will need as many points as possible in those games while in the middle of the Western Conference playoff chase. Colorado currently sits one game behind the Los Angeles Kings for the final wild card spot, although the Avs do have a game in hand on the Kings.
