It’s a Colorado Avalanche game day!
The Colorado Avalanche open their season at Ball Arena tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets. It will give fans the opportunity to see new faces in burgundy and blue for the first time with their own eyes, alongside some new faces.
We will also see the team likely pay tribute to Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, playing the Jackets for the first time since their tragic passing. Emotions will be high both on and off the ice, with both teams looking to get their first win of the season.
