Opening night in the Rockies will be a special one as the Colorado Avalanche hang their banner from their Stanley Cup championship last season. They host the struggling Chicago Blackhawks who are using this year to turn the page onto a rebuild.
Chicago has had it rough the past few years. From all the drama surrounding the team off the ice, to the poor management decisions and the ultimate struggles on the ice, it's no secret the Blackhawks are rebuilding, and the lottery is a reasonable outlook for them.
While their opponents are working to put their past in the rearview, it's all about the future for the Avalanche. Coming off a dominating Cup win, many believe the Avs can pull it off again. As hard as it is in the NHL, the Avs have their core locked up and are gearing for another Cup run.
