The Colorado Avalanche are in the home stretch, and fittingly, that begins with a two-game home stand. Tonight they face the red-hot Vegas Golden Knights. A big two points is on the line, two points that mean everything to the Avs and something to a Knights squad looking to clinch their playoff berth.
The Avalanche have been playing playoff hockey for about a month now. I’d discounted them half a month ago, but they’ve clawed their way back into the conversation with a 6-3-1 record in the last 10 games.
The Knights have been 7-2-1 in their last 10.
