Listen: Altitude Sports Radio FM 92.5, AM 950
The Colorado Avalanche have been off all week preparing for back to back games against the Blue Jackets in Tampere, Finland, and today the first one finally happens. After blowing a 3-0 lead in Long Island before heading overseas, the Avalanche will look to bounce back by extending Columbus’ early season losing streak to 4 straight Ls.
Both teams have spent the week exploring Tampere with their Finnish stars, Mikko Rantanen and Patrick Laine, and should be ready to showcase the NHL in front of a crowd that is expected to be equal parts Avs and Jackets fans.
