The Colorado Avalanche welcome the Columbus Blue Jackets to town looking to win their first game of the season.
The Colorado Avalanche host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night in NHL action. The Avalanche are beginning a four-game homestand on Saturday after playing the Vegas Golden Knights on the road on Wednesday to open the season. It wasn’t a good start to the season, though, as they fell to the Golden Knights 8-4. Mikko Rantanen scored the first goal of the game, but then the Avalanche gave up the next three goals and would never lead again. They did cut the lead to one early in the third period, but they gave up three more goals to end the game. Rantanen would score two more goals to record the hat trick but it wasn’t nearly enough and they come into Saturday 0-1-0 on the season. Saturday they will look to bounce back and get their first win of the year against a Blue Jackets team that is also trying to win their first game of the season.
