The Colorado Avalanche are playing the first game in Pepsi Center this month. They haven’t played on home ice since the November 30 overtime loss to the St. Louis Blues. Needless to say, the Colorado crowd is more than ready to banish that memory.
Well, finally the Avalanche are going to have seven games at home. They’re not all in a row, and there are a couple back-to-backs that the NHL just loves to pile onto Colorado’s plate. However, it will be good to see some home cooking.
This is the second meeting between Colorado and Edmonton this season.
