With a win yesterday afternoon the Colorado Avalanche are now in sole possession of the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. A win tonight will pull them into a tie with Dallas - a place that seemed impossible just a few short weeks ago.
Opponents: Chicago Blackhawks (32-32-10)
Where: United Center - Chicago, Illinois
Puck drop: 6:00 p.m. MT
Watch: NBCSN
Listen: Altitude 92.5
Sweeping the home-and-home is going to be easier said than done, though, as it’s also desperation time for the Chicago Blackhawks.
