Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, and the Colorado Avalanche are home for it: the Avs host the Calgary Flames at Ball Arena on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026, with the puck dropping at 8 p.m. Mountain time. It is the second game of a short homestand that opens Wednesday, Oct. 28 against New Jersey, and the NHL schedule has the Avs back at Ball Arena the following week for Nashville on Nov. 5 and Detroit on Nov. 7.
Downtown Denver’s clocks fall back the night of this game (daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1), so plan for an extra hour afterward rather than a shorter night.
