It’s a Colorado Avalanche game day!
The Colorado Avalanche will debut a new toy tonight at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins, with newly acquired Ryan Lindgren expected to draw into the lineup to face Sidney Crosby and his gaggle of aging Pens.
With Colorado gearing up for a playoff run and Pittsburgh preparing to sell parts at this week’s trade deadline, these two teams are heading in opposite directions - making tonight a game the Avalanche need to show up for and take the two points they’re expected to win on paper.
