In the first game of the 2022 NHL Global Series, The Avalanche hope to topple the unimpressive Blue Jackets in front of Finnish fans in Western Finland.
A very interesting element to this matchup in Finland, is Patrik Laine sat in these exact stands as a child watching The Florida Panthers take on a local Finnish club.
The game took place back in 2008, potentially sparking Laine’s true inspiration for hockey. The question is, can his amazing play capture the heart of another potential NHL superstar?

Columbus’ start to their 2022/23 tenure has been less than successful, that being said they have a chance to capitalize on The Avalanche’s jet lag on Friday Night in Finland.
Offensively speaking, Columbus is only getting off 29.0 shots, resulting in an underwhelming 2.6 goals per game. These stats dreadfully rank 22nd and 29th.
