Professional ice hockey match between the Colorado Avalanche and the Montreal Canadiens at Ball Arena.
The Colorado Avalanche take on the Montreal Canadiens at Ball Arena on Wednesday, November 25, 2026. It's a mid-week matchup that brings the Canadiens into Denver for a single game, so if you've been wanting to see Montreal in person, this is your night. Puck drops at 7:30 PM.
For those who don't spend every night following the schedule, it's worth remembering what Ball Arena is. It's the home ice for the Avalanche, but it's also where the Denver Nuggets play their basketball and the Colorado Mammoth play their lacrosse. Having three different teams call the same roof home means the place sees a lot of action throughout the year, and a Wednesday night hockey game is right in the middle of that rotation. When the Avalanche are playing here, it's their house, and the atmosphere usually reflects that.
On the ice, it's the Avalanche hosting the Canadiens, two teams from opposite ends of the map. Montreal is one of the oldest and most storied franchises in the league, so they bring a lot of history with them when they travel. The Avalanche, on the other hand, have spent the last few years firmly established as one of the top contenders in the West, and playing at home gives them the edge in a game like this. It's a classic East-West clash, with Montreal making the trip to Colorado for a single night of hockey.
