The Colorado Avalanche have about as good of a first round matchup as they could hope for in the Arizona Coyotes. Having earned the second seed in the conference after a good Round Robin, they play the second lowest seed in the West remaining, Arizona. Despite having made their name with their goaltending, the Avalanche comfortably have the upper hand in all three areas of the ice.
