Colorado Avalanche vs. Florida Panthers

The Colorado Avalanche host the Florida Panthers in an NHL regular season game at Ball Arena in Denver. This matchup revives a historic 1996 Stanley Cup Final rivalry, where the Avalanche swept the Panthers to win their first championship after relocating from Quebec. Since then, the Avalanche have added two more titles (2001, 2022) and remain a perennial contender, having won thirteen division titles since moving to Denver.

Fans can expect a fast-paced, physical game featuring top NHL talent from both teams. The arena atmosphere is lively, with the home crowd known for its dedication. The Avalanche share Ball Arena with the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Mammoth, and this regular-season game carries playoff race implications. An NHL game here offers a quintessential Denver sports experience, grounded in a franchise history that began as the Quebec Nordiques in the WHA.
