The Colorado Avalanche has hit a snag on its potential climb to the top of the Central Division, and the most surprising part is what’s currently the biggest issue. When the Avs stumbled to a 14-13 start, there were two obvious culprits: the goaltending and the injuries. When Colorado has struggled in recent seasons, it’s often been a lull in the performance without the puck. But an unlikely obstacle has popped up after this Avs team looked ready to take off with a 10-2 run and two new goaltenders.

Denver Parks and Recreation plans to open the area to the public this summer but will continue to develop amenities there after soliciting input from the community about what residents want to see in the space.
