The first meeting of the season between the Colorado Avalanche (17-1-6) and the Montreal Canadiens (12-7-3) will take place Saturday afternoon at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. A place that has not seen an Avalanche loss all season.
In fact, this Colorado team has not lost but 1 game in regulation all season and looks to be the early favorites to hoist the Stanley Cup at the end of this season. They lead the league in both total goals scored (94) and total goals allowed (48). They are also near the top in penalty kill percentage and shooting percentage. Their only weak spot thus far has been their ability to score on the power play. To be fair, that has not played much of a role in their outcomes.
Montreal is coming off a 4-1 win against the Vegas Golden Knights. The win makes it 3 in a row for the Canadiens. Like their opponents, the Canadiens are near the top of the league in shooting percentage but have an advantage in terms of power play conversions. They are 10th in the league and make good use of their opportunities when their opponents are a man down. They are going to need to take advantage of any opportunity they get in this one if they are going to be part of the exclusive group to have beaten this Avalanche team this season.
