The Colorado Avalanche is set to face the Carolina Hurricanes in a special Thursday night game, marking a big moment for three Avalanche players.
This game is part of the Avalanche's 30th anniversary season since moving to Denver from Quebec City, and the team will debut their throwback Quebec Nordiques uniforms. The Hurricanes will also wear their Hartford Whalers uniforms as part of a heritage night celebration.
The game promises to be a visually striking matchup between two of the best teams in the NHL, with a combined 10-1-2 record to start the season. They are currently tied for first and fourth in points percentage and are considered two of the top Stanley Cup contenders.
Prior to the game, there will be a pregame celebration to honor Brent Burns, who recently played his 1,500th career NHL game.
