NHL announces revamped Colorado Avalanche schedule

Over the past few weeks, the NHL has had to postpone dozens of games due to COVID-19 outbreaks across a number of teams. The league has been slowly re-scheduling the games whenever possible while trying to get as many games on the books as possible. This afternoon, the NHL announced a large group of re-scheduled games, including six of the seven previously postponed Colorado Avalanche games.

The following games have been added to the Avs schedule:

Minnesota @ Colorado - February 24

Colorado @ Arizona - February 26

Anaheim @ Colorado - March 16

Arizona @ Colorado - March 31

Arizona @ Colorado - April 12

Colorado @ St. Louis - April 14

The Colorado @ St. Louis game that was originally scheduled for February 7 will be rescheduled at a later date.

These new dates mean that an already condensed schedule is going to get a lot more hectic over the next few months. Depth will be key as fatigue is going to play a major factor, not just for the Avalanche but for the many teams who have already had their season derailed by COVID. Hopefully the NHL is past the worst of things because any further postponements and they’re going to have a hard time getting the season finished as planned.
