The Colorado Avalanche will face off against the defending Stanley Cup Champion Vegas Golden Knights in what is one of the marquee matchups of this young NHL season. The Avs began the season on fire, winning their first six before being shutout in their next two, then rebounding with a convincing 4-1 win over St. Louis on Wednesday after Jared Bednar shuffled the lineup a bit. Meanwhile, Vegas has been the class of the league so far, winning ten games and losing just one in overtime against Chicago. It’s early, but this has Western Conference Finals preview written all over it.
