Avalanche will play Ottawa Senators twice in Sweden next season
The NHL and the Players Association on Friday morning announced the Avalanche will play two 2017-18 regular-season games in Stockholm, Sweden, against the Ottawa Senators on Nov. 10 and 11. The matchup at the Ericsson Globe arena is especially attractive for the host country because both teams have Swedish captains — the Avalanche’s Landeskog, a native of Stockholm, and Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson, who is from Landsbro, about 210 miles south of the capital city. The Avalanche currently has two other Swedes on its roster, defenseman Anton Lindholm, and center Carl Soderberg.
