Thursday night’s matchup between the Colorado Avalanche and Chicago Blackhawks is bigger than it may have seemed at the beginning of the year. This is the second time these two have played this season, the first time being Opening Night for the Avs and the Stanley Cup Champions banner-raising ceremony. Colorado won out in the end 5-2.
Now, the Avs sit out of the playoffs looking in and need any of the points they can get.
