The Colorado Avalanche are hosting the Nashville Predators in the year’s first Division Rival night. This is also the first time the two teams will face off since they fought in the playoffs.
Unfortunately, the Predators are one of the few teams the Avalanche have historically struggled with. They’ve gone 33-39-7-5 (ties). Interestingly, they’ve never gone to the shootout.
Last season, Nashville took all four games the two teams played, so that blows. In fact, you’d have to go all the way back to March 28, 2016 to find a regular season Avalanche victory over this vexing team.
