DENVER — The Colorado Avalanche plays in the regular-season home game finale Thursday night. It comes with a matchup against the visiting Vancouver Canucks.

Both teams have their plans all but made in the next few weeks. Vancouver is out of the running, whereas the Avalanche are locked into third place in the Central Division. Regardless, both will look for a win over the other to end their campaigns.

Last Time Out for the Avalanche

Colorado went the distance against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night. They came back from 2-0 down and managed to take down the Knights behind Charlie Coyle’s goal in the shootout.

Last Time Out for the Canucks

Vancouver made history in its last game. They faced off against the Dallas Stars, where they were on track for a rough loss. But down 5-2 in the final minute, they roared back with three goals to take it to overtime. Former Av Kiefer Sherwood scored the overtime winner to shock Dallas amidst their chase to catch the Winnipeg Jets. It was the first time in the NHL that a team scored three goals in the final minute and won.
