It’s a Colorado Avalanche game day!
The Colorado Avalanche and Winnipeg Jets play at Ball Arena in their first meeting of the 2022-23 season tonight! The last time these two clubs played was last season, back in April, and the Jets came out on top. Can Colorado continue their dominance of the central division, pushing its divisional win streak to three games?
It’s a busy week for the Avalanche, who will play on Friday and Saturday, bringing the week’s work to four games in six days. It will be necessary for the Avalanche to lighten the load by getting ahead early if they want to have legs in Vegas on Saturday.
Let us know how you think the game is going in the comments!
