Thursday's contest against the visiting Minnesota Wild is the Colorado Avalanche's final home game of the season, and as such, the match will feature a celebration of the supporters that have stuck it out with the Avs this season.
An annual tradition, Fan Appreciation Night will feature giveaways galore, special ceremonies and other content aimed at honoring those who make the game worth playing.
"Regardless of our results this year, we've had a lot of people come out and support us. We're real grateful for that," forward Matt Duchene said following the team's final morning skate at Pepsi Center. "Maybe it's not deserved, but we appreciate it all the same. It just goes to show the great fanbase we have here in Colorado."
