TONIGHT The Avalanche hosts the St. Louis Blues for the second time in three nights this evening at Ball Arena ... St. Louis beat Colorado 4-1 in the season opener here on Wednesday ... This is the first time that Colorado is playing the same opponent in two straight regular season home games (both at home) since Oct. 27-29, 2005 vs. Vancouver ... Colorado’s 56-game schedule will consist entirely of divisional games, as the NHL realigned into four new divisions this year ... The Avs will face fellow Honda West Division foes Anaheim, Arizona, Los Angeles, Minnesota, St. Louis, San Jose and Vegas eight times apiece (four home/away) ...
