The Colorado Avalanche have a back-to-back, home-and-home against the Chicago Blackhawks. Really, NHL schedulers? Yet another back-to-back? The team has already had three.
Well, at least this one is a home-and-home back-to-back, so the Blackhawks don’t have any advantage over Colorado. They’re in the same boat.
At the time of writing, the Avalanche were in the first wild card spot, and the Blackhawks were #7 out of 9 in the wild card race.
The Blackhawks are coming off a 3-0 win over the Dallas Stars, while Colorado beat the Oilers 4-1 on Friday. These two game represent the first two meetings between the two teams.
