Colorado Avalanche Open Thread: Colorado Avalanche vs. New Jersey Devils (5:00 p.m.)
Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports
It’s a Colorado Avalanche game day!
The Colorado Avalanche continues a tour of the East Coast with a visit to the Prudential Center to take on the New Jersey Devils. New Jersey and Colorado have gotten off to similar starts this season, with some quality wins and a couple of disappointing losses, driven primarily by strong offensive contributions from their defense and strong play from their top-end forwards.
Colorado’s superior goaltending should make a big difference in this game, though New Jersey’s dynamic young offensive weapons will likely make the Devils a tougher conquest than they have been in years past. And with Valeri Nichushkin out with a Lower Body Injury, who from the Avs supporting cast will step up and contribute some offense?
Let us know how you think the game is going in the comments!
