Open Thread: Colorado Avalanche vs. Florida Panthers (7:30 p.m.)

We are one hour away from puck drop! If you’ve got ESPN+ or Hulu, this game is available nationwide for your viewing pleasure! The pleasure will come in the form of the Colorado Avalanche and Florida Panthers, both of whom are looking for any points they can get in the midst of their playoff races.

Both teams are in different positions than they were in a year ago: both at the top of Western and Eastern Conferences respectively. Therefore, the Avs look to win two straight after their win over the Edmonton Oilers, while the Panthers look to win after their demoralizing loss to the Dallas Stars.
