Over My Head: Blackhawks at Avalanche Preview

After five months of waiting, we’ve got Chicago Blackhawks hockey to watch!

The 2021-22 version of the team opens its season Wednesday night on the road against one of the preseason favorites in the Central Division: the Colorado Avalanche.

For multiple seasons now, Colorado has been assembling a wealth of speed and talent in the Rocky Mountains while working its way up the NHL standings. In the pandemic-shortened 2021 season, the Avs eked past the Vegas Golden Knights for the Western Division crown but lost to those same Golden Knights in the second round of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
