Tonight the Colorado Avalanche will host their division rival the Minnesota Wild, likely in front of another sold-out crowd at the Pepsi Center. The Wild lost to the Preds in their opener and look to avoid going (0-2) to start the 2019-20 regular season while the Avs are riding the high of an opening night W over the feisty Flames.
As the opener came to an end on Thursday evening in Denver, one thing was clear. This year’s Avalanche team is going to play an explosive and entertaining brand of hockey. The boys jumped all over Calgary in a game that seemed to be an extension of last year’s playoff duel.
