It’s a Colorado Avalanche gameday!
Led by a resurgent powerplay unit and surprising offense from Joel Kiviranta, the Colorado Avalanche did just enough to get by Alexandar Georgiev and the San Jose Sharks last night.
Tonight they face another old friend in Greg Cronin behind the Anaheim Ducks’ bench, and another plucky young team looking to defend home ice against a Western Conference power.
With new big-name players getting comfortable on both teams, the matchup should be interesting - and for Colorado, it should be a win too.
