Chicago at Colorado

Chicago opens the season on the road on a 4-9 run away from home, 6-20 as a road underdog. Chicago comes off a losing campaign where the defense was terrible, #25 in goals allowed, #18 in save percentage, allowing the second-most shots on goal. They made a lot of changes with six players making their team debuts. Meanwhile, Colorado was No. 1 in the NHL last season in goals scored (3.52 per game), third in goals allowed, and tops in shots on goal allowed. And Colorado is 28-9-4 all-time in home openers, the second-best mark in the NHL. Play Colorado.
