It's opening night for the Colorado Avalanche and the Vegas Golden Knights as they face off at T-Mobile Arena. Both teams are bringing fresh faces, with Ivan Ivan making his NHL debut for the Avalanche and Victor Olofsson, Alexander Holtz, and Tanner Pearson set to play their first game for Vegas. Key injuries and a suspension affect the Avalanche, with Lehkonen, Landeskog, and Poolman out and Nichushkin suspended. William Karlsson is on injury reserve for the Golden Knights. The lineup battle between Colorado's top line featuring MacKinnon and Rantanen against Vegas' seasoned forwards like Eichel and Stone should be electrifying.
As an Avalanche fan, I can't wait to see how our boys kick off the season. Despite the injuries and Nichushkin's absence, with MacKinnon leading the charge and Cale Makar's wizardry on defense, I have a good feeling about this matchup. Let's go Avs!
