Colorado Avalanche Open Thread: Colorado Avalanche vs. New York Rangers (6:00 p.m.)

The Colorado Avalanche and New York Rangers are ready for a nationally televised showdown at Madison Square Garden tonight. These two teams have not played since Colorado secured a 4-2 victory over the Rangers in December 2021. Avalanche net-minder Alexandar Georgiev will face his former team for the first time since being acquired by the Colorado Avalanche. In a showdown between former teammates, Igor Shesterkin will be in the net for the Rangers.
