Deen’s Daily: East Coast Back-to-Back; New Home For Reichel; Hart Officially Signs

The Avalanche begin a two-game Eastern Conference road swing this afternoon. The Chicago Blackhawks traded away their 2020 first-round draft pick in search of a fresh start. Also, Carter Hart is officially a member of the Vegas Golden Knights.

Looking to end a two-game winless streak, the Avs are in Boston to take on the team they beat a week ago at Ball Arena.

The Bruins are struggling. Badly. For the Avs, it would be a big lift before they take on the NHL’s best New Jersey Devils in a home-and-home series right after this.

They face the Bruins today and the Devils tomorrow, even earlier than this one.
