Listen to “Tampa Bay Comes to Town” on Spreaker.
The Avalanche are back from the All-Star break and ready for a matchup against the defending Stanley Cup champs. Aarif and J.J. share updates from practice, including an injury report on Nathan MacKinnon and others. They also chat about Pavel Francouz’s quote about his free-agent status and Valeri Nichushkin relishing an opportunity. The guys then preview the Tampa Bay game on Thursday, look back at the All-Star weekend festivities and take a peek around the NHL. All that and more on this edition of Hockey Mountain High: Your go-to Avalanche Podcast.
