Open Thread: Colorado Avalanche at Columbus Blue Jackets (5:00 p.m. MT)
After a successful first half of the road trip and back-to-back with their 5-2 victory over Chicago last night, the Colorado Avalanche ventured to Columbus to complete their quick road swing. For many reasons the Blue Jackets organization is a place of familiarity. It’s where Jared Bednar was hired from and it’s where old friends either were brought in from or eventually sent to. Tonight is Colorado’s first meeting with Val Nichushkin who was moved to Columbus in a cap dump trade over the summer. Which team will show they won that trade tonight?
Colorado Avalanche: (9-5-1)
The Opponent: Columbus Blue Jackets (5-7-0)
Time: 5:00 p.m. MT
