With the hockey season in full swing, several playoff-bound teams will hope to make some elbow room in their respective divisions this week. The Chicago Blackhawks will host the most expensive game of the week against the Wild on Sunday, while the Maple Leafs, Ducks and Canucks also welcome top-priced games. Below are the top five priciest NHL games this week:
(Tickets for all of these games can be purchased at the bottom of this post)
1/11/15 Minnesota Wild at Chicago Blackhawks | Avg. Price: $323.57 | Get-in: $135
At 26-11-2, the Chicago Blackhawks sit in second place in the Central division of the Western Conference. They trail the division-leading Predators, who enter the week at 25-9-4. The Blackhawks will play this week’s most expensive game against the Wildon Sunday, where the average price for Blackhawks vs Wild tickets is $323.57 and get-in price starts at $135 on the secondary market. Chicago already met the Predators for the last of four games this season in December, so it will look to expose a bumbling Wild team later this week in hopes of keeping pace with Nashville.
1/9/15 Columbus Blue Jackets at Toronto Maple Leafs | Avg. Price: $291.58 | Get-in: $61
The second most expensive game this week will be played between the Blue Jackets and Maple Leafs at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. The average secondary price for Maple Leafs vs Blue Jackets tickets is $291.58 and get-in price is listed at $61. The Maple Leafs sit in the middle of the pack in the Atlantic division with a 21-16-3 record. The Blue Jackets shouldn’t pose much of a threat, however, as they enter the week at 17-17-3. Toronto took their first meeting with Columbus on October 31, beating the Blue Jackets by a final score of 4-1 at Nationwide Arena.
1/11/15 Winnipeg Jets at Anaheim Ducks (Teemu Tribute Night) | Avg. Price: $290.56 | Get-in: $100
The Anaheim Ducks set to welcome the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night, where the average secondary price for Ducks vs Jets tickets is $290.56. Get-in price starts at $100. The Ducks own top honors in the Western Conference at 26-9-6 and have totaled the most points in the league with 58. They’ll take on a Jets team this Sunday that has gone 20-12-7 over their first 39 games and sits in the middle of the Central division behind the Blackhawks and Predators.
1/10/15 Calgary Flames at Vancouver Canucks | Avg. Price: $286.25 | Get-in: $72
In the fourth most expensive game this week, the Vancouver Canucks host the Flames on Saturday night at the Rogers Arena. The average price for Canucks vs Flames tickets is $286.25 and get-in price starts at $72. The Canucks have taken their first two meetings against the Flames this season. They’ll play two more against Calgary over the next two months, wrapping their four-game series at Scotiabank Saddledome on February 14.
1/6/15 Colorado Avalanche at Chicago Blackhawks | Avg. Price: $271.06 | Get-in: $100
Rounding off this week’s top-priced games is a matchup between the Blackhawks and Colorado Avalanche at the United Center in Chicago on Tuesday night. The Blackhawks will play their first of four games this week tomorrow night when they host the Avalanche, where average ticket price for Blackhawks vs Avalanche tickets is listed at $271.06 and get-in price is $100 on the secondary market. The Avs head to Chicago with a blundering 15-16-8 record on the season.
