Colorado Avalanche hockey is back! And this year the Avs start at Pepsi Center.
The Avalanche start the 2018-19 season against the Minnesota Wild at home. If the team sticks to what they were saying in the preseason, they’ll be counting points from Day 1. This season is going to be a tight race to make the playoffs. And that’s especially true in the tough Central Division.
Over the years, Colorado has a slight advantage over the Wild, having gone 56-49-10-3 (ties). The goal differentil is 321-305 in favor of the Avs. Last season was especially good for Colorado.
