Game Preview

The Colorado Avalanche took a different approach to the end of the regular season than they did last year, and hope they find similar postseason results.

Last spring Colorado went 4-5-1 down the stretch but it didn’t matter because the Avs had already clinched the top seed in the Western Conference … and they went on to win the title. This year the Avalanche surged in the final weeks, going 10-1-1 in their final 12 games to capture the Central Division by a point over Dallas.

Their efforts snagged the No. 2 conference seed, which rewards them with home-ice advantage through at least the first two rounds of the playoffs. The Avalanche begin their defense of the Stanley Cup on Tuesday night in Denver against the upstart Seattle Kraken.
