We already knew that the Avalanche will open the 2020-21 regular season on Wednesday, Jan. 13, against the St. Louis Blues at Ball Arena.
NBC on Tuesday released its broadcast schedule, and the Colorado/St. Louis opener will air at 8:30 p.m. MT on NBC Sports Network as part of a tripleheader following Pittsburgh/Philadelphia and Chicago/Tampa Bay.
It's GO TIME.

The Avalanche also will be on Sunday on NBCSN twice: at Vegas on February 14; vs. Los Angeles on March 14. They’ll be on NBC twice: vs. Vegas on Saturday, Feb. 20; at St. Louis on Saturday, April 24.
Times will be announced at a later date.
NBC stated that some games will be blacked out in local markets and televised by a regional carrier. Not sure how this will work for Comcast subscribers, of which I am one; the carrier still isn’t carrying Altitude.
Start times and broadcast information for the remaining Avalanche games have yet to be announced.
