There is one certainty in this upcoming Colorado Avalanche season and that is someone is going to score the first goal of the 2023-24 campaign. It might happen quickly in the first period like last season’s tipped goal from Andrew Cogliano or it might be as memorable as Jack Johnson’s to start the eventual Stanley Cup-winning season but someone will score it.
