The Colorado Avalanche are hosting the Chicago Blackhawks tonight. Yes, it’s another must-win for the Avs.
Colorado is coming in cold. They’re 3-6-1 in their last 10 games. They just lost three in a row — and for the most part to teams they should have beaten. One of those teams was tonight’s foe, the Blackhawks.
Meanwhile, Chicago is coming in… well, not exactly hot. Lukewarm. They’re 5-4-1 in their last 10. They just beat the (hated) Minnesota Wild 5-2. The Blackhawks are still last in the Central Division, but this is a team that has some life in it yet.
