The Colorado Avalanche are hosting their 15th Burgundy and White scrimmage at Denver University’s Magness Arena today at 1:00 PM. While the younger players participated in a scrimmage at yesterday’s camp, this is the first time all the players are playing in a game.
During the Avalanche Burgundy and White game, some players are just getting their game legs — they know they’ve made the roster. Others are on the cusp and are fighting to keep their jobs. Some are trying to take those jobs. (It’s the nature of the business.)
During a press conference, head coach Patrick Roy stated the team would make some cuts before the first preseason game, which takes place at home against the Anaheim Ducks on September 22.
