Colorado to play third outdoor game in a more natural setting by Ron Knabenbauer @RonKnab / ColoradoAvalanche.com
The Colorado Avalanche has played in the league s outdoor game spectacles twice before, skating in front of capacity crowds in stadiums close to home in Denver and Colorado Springs.
What it will do next will be something the Avalanche players have never experienced at the NHL level. In fact, it s something that hasn t been done in league history.
The Avs will play in their third-ever outdoor contest on Saturday when they take on the Vegas Golden Knights, but this time there will be no fans clad in burgundy and blue in attendance. Staged on the south shore of Lake Tahoe in Nevada, the Colorado players will play in as much of a natural setting as possible while still having a feel of an NHL game.
