Colorado Avalanche Announce 2021-2022 Season Schedule

DENVER (CBS4)- The NHL announced its full 2021-2022 regular-season schedule on Thursday, and the Colorado Avalanche will be returning to the Central Division after spending last season in the West Division.

The newest club, the Seattle Kraken will join the Pacific Division, which will have an effect on the Avalanche. The Central Division will now have eight teams with the Arizona Coyotes moving into the Avs division.

The Avalanche open their campaign at home, on Wednesday, Oct. 13 against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Avalanche face the Blackhawks on Opening Night for a third time (also in 2003 and 2010). This marks the fourth straight year that Colorado begins its season at home.

Some miscellaneous schedule notes:

Colorado will have its busiest December ever with 16 games. They will play 11 back-to-back sets throughout the season and their longest homestand will be four games, scheduled for April 13 – 18, 2022. Their longest road trip is five games to be played from Dec. 1 – 8. The regular season comes to a close on April 29, 2022 in Minnesota.
