The Colorado Avalanche host the Montreal Canadiens at Ball Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 25, 2026, the night before Thanksgiving, with the puck dropping at 7:30 p.m. Mountain time. Montreal makes one visit to Denver a season, so this is the only chance to see the Canadiens at Ball Arena this year. The Avs are home again Saturday, Nov. 28 against San Jose at 7 p.m.
Thanksgiving Eve is a popular night out, and anyone running a turkey trot the next morning should note the later start. The Mile High Tree and the Denver Christkindlmarket are both open downtown that week.
