It’s a Colorado Avalanche gameday! The Colorado Avalanche might get to beat up on one of the NHL’s worst this Friday night, as they host the Philadelphia Flyers, a team that is playing just its fourth without longtime captain Claude Giroux.
Will the Avs hit a world record of goals in a hockey game? Can Artturi Lehkonen get multiple points in his Colorado debut? Maybe Cale Makar can score a really cool goal as well.
The Avalanche are coming off a weird defeat to the Vancouver Canucks, but that team has some actually good players and the Flyers have not a whole lot of that.
Projected Lines:
Nichushkin (13) - MacKinnon (29) - Rantanen (96)Lehkonen (62) - Kadri (91) - Burakovsky (95)O’Connor (25) - Sturm (78) - Compher (37)Cogliano (11) - Helm (43) - Aube-Kubel (16)
Toews (7) - Makar (8)J. Johnson (3) - Manson (42)MacDermid (56) - E. Johnson (6)
Pavel Francouz will be getting the start.
