There is a sense of normality returning to life.
If the Colorado Avalanche had made it to the third round of the 2021 playoffs, Ball Arena would’ve hosted a full crowd for the first time since March 11th, 2020. It is expected that there will be a full crowd come Opening Night in October, with Avs faithful making a huge difference to team performance every night.
With this return to normality includes a shift to the regular Central Division lineup for Colorado. The Avalanche haven’t seen some opponents in over two years. With this in mind, how will the return to regular divisions this season play into the Avs journey to the Cup?
