NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced the game on Tuesday. The Avalanche’s opponent for the Feb. 15, 2020, game at Falcons Stadium in Colorado Springs will be announced later.
It will be the second outdoor NHL game played in Colorado. The Avalanche hosted the Detroit Red Wings at Denver’s Coors Field on Feb. 27, 2016.
