The Colorado Avalanche finished up their preseason on Saturday. Get the latest overview on how they fared in the exhibition games and get a glimpse of what to watch in their home opener Saturday.
THE GOOD
1. Regular season hockey starts Wednesday! The Colorado Avalanche start the season with their home opener against the Dallas Stars on Saturday, October 15. It’s about time.
2. The Avalanche won six straight preseason games as well as both rookie showcase tilts, the only NHL team to go undefeated in the exhibition games. While victories during the regular season are key, a six-game winning streak can do a lot for a team’s confidence, especially when one considers they have a new coach and are earning wins with a mishmash of players.
