Preview: It’s fan appreciation night at Ball Arena for game 82
Will the Avalanche beat their previous best single-season point total?
We are ready to drop the puck on the final game of the regular season, and it will be the Seattle Kraken visiting Ball Arena for one last showdown before the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin this weekend. The Avs are happy to welcome head coach Jared Bednar back behind the bench after he took a puck up high last week against the Calgary Flames. As Bednar said, “That’s why you keep your head on a swivel and keep your hands out of your pockets.
” The Kraken won’t be a playoff team this year, and so this one should play out like a ‘no-hitter’ similar to what we saw in the last two contests. Where to watch ⬇️ pic. twitter.
