Professional ice hockey match between the Colorado Avalanche and the Dallas Stars at Ball Arena.
The Colorado Avalanche take on the Dallas Stars at Ball Arena on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. It's a regular-season matchup between two of the league's heavier hitters, and since it's a Wednesday night, it's one of those mid-week games that'll have you thinking about the commute home while the action is still going. The puck drops at 7:30 PM, so if you're heading in from across town, you've got plenty of time to get settled before the first period starts.
For those who follow the league, this is a clash between two teams that usually find themselves in the mix when the playoffs roll around. The Avalanche are playing on home ice here in Denver, and the Stars are coming in from Texas, so it's a cross-conference meeting that brings a different style of play to the arena. It's a straightforward hockey game—two teams, one rink, and a full sixty minutes of play—with the usual home-and-away dynamic that makes these matchups a bit more than just another date on the schedule.
