The number of games should be no surprise to hockey fans around the league as the Avs are defending Stanley Cup Champions and already had 13 national tv games last season.

Some very notable games are on this list, with many storylines already formed. After yet another fiery playoff series, we will see the Avalanche play the Blues in St. Louis in early December. Last season’s second-round series with the Blues could spur on a rivalry. Division rivalry night will be on display again against the Minnesota Wild, both in Minny and at home.

I’d circle the rematch with the Tampa Bay Lightning in February and the matchup with Toronto in the middle of March. I’m sure a rematch with the Lightning will bring about some fireworks, and it’s always fun to go into Toronto on National TV.

Which matchups have your eye heading into 2022-23? Let us know in the comments!
