Getting your player ready...
Grab your coats and head toward Colorado Springs. The NHL announced Friday the matchup that will bring league’s stadium series back to Colorado next season for an outdoor game at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
The Avalanche will host the Los Angeles Kings on Feb. 20, 2020, at Falcon Stadium (capacity 46,692), marking the second home outdoor game for Colorado in a span of five years. The Avs hosted Detroit at Coors Field in 2016.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman previously announced Jan. 1 that there would be an outdoor game for the Avs at Air Force Academy, but the opponent at the time was unknown.
The 2020 game will be the second outdoor NHL game played a military academy; Washington and Toronto played at the U.S. Naval Academy in March 2018.
