NBC to black out Avalanche territory when return-to-play begins Sunday

The Avalanche’s three round-robin pre-tournament games, beginning Sunday against the St. Louis Blues in Edmonton, will be blacked out locally by NBC Sports Network. Thus, the games will only be available on Altitude, the team-owned regional sports network that is not currently offered by Comcast or Dish Network.

“We are exclusive for all three of these games,” Altitude executive vice president Kenny Miller said in a text message Friday. “NBCSN will black out Avalanche territory.”

DirecTV is the only major Colorado provider that carries Altitude. In previous playoff years, Altitude only carried the Avalanche games NBC did not.
