The Colorado Avalanche might finally have something that can be considered a break. According to the NHL’s reckoning, the Avs have the most favorable schedule for the remainder of the season.
As of right now, the Avalanche have 33 games remaining. Of those games, 16 are at home and 17 are on the road. That’s not necessarily what makes the schedule favorable for Colorado. Rather, it’s the opponents they have coming up.
The NHL reckons the Avs have some relatively easy competition in the remaining weeks. There’s no such thing as a given, but according to the stats the NHL concocted Colorado’s upcoming opponents aren’t too difficult.
