The NHL is creeping ever closer to the start of the bizarre, reformatted 2020 postseason, which will take place in a pair of bubble ‘hub’ cities up in Canada in August.
For the Colorado Avalanche, there’s just over a week before they’ll get to play their exhibition game against the Minnesota Wild in Edmonton. They’re set to face off against their fellow Central Division play-in round attendees on July 29th, with puck drop scheduled for 2:30 PM EST/12:30 PM MST for the Wednesday game.
That leaves the Avalanche with just over a week left before they have to be fully prepared for action against another NHL team, something they’ve been working on during scrimmages at practice in Denver.
