Opening night of the 2024-25 Colorado Avalanche season is almost upon us and in anticipation of that first goal — leading to hopefully the first win — of the season, let us guess who will score that all-important first tally.
Last year 19 of you (9%) correctly predicted it would be the dogg himself Nathan MacKinnon scoring the first goal of the season against the LA Kings en route to a 5-2 victory, which was also a perfect start to MacKinnon’s first Hart Trophy campaign.
Will we see MacKinnon do it again? Or is a perfect debut on the horizon and one of the young guns score their first NHL goal? How about an unexpected first tally from one of the bottom six forwards? Or maybe the blueline will come though? Find out at 8 p.m. MT as the Avalanche take on the Vegas Golden Knights.
What is your prediction? Who will light the lamp first for the burgundy and blue? Leave your answer in the comments as well so you can take credit!
