From the time of their move to Denver in 1995, until the end of the 1998-99 season, the Avalanche played their home games at McNichols Arena. Since then, the Avalanche have called Pepsi Center home. The Avalanche have a notable rivalry with the Detroit Red Wings, partly due to both teams having met each other five times in seven years in the Western Conference playoffs between 1996 and 2002.
