Open Thread: Colorado Avalanche vs. Philadelphia Flyers (5:00 p.m.)
Photo by Michael Martin/NHLI via Getty ImagesThe Colorado Avalanche and Philadelphia Flyers are all set for a showdown tonight at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. Can the Avalanche bounce back after their frustrating defeat to the Boston Bruins? Or will Carter Hart and the new Philadelphia Flyers steal the show?
Colorado will be without yet another key component in Artturi Lehkonen, who left Saturday’s game against the Bruins with an upper-body injury. That means Charles Hudon will get the call-up from the AHL. Jean-Luc Foudy is also now out day-to-day, meaning Jared Bednar is splitting Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen from the top line to provide depth for a very AHL-heavy side.
