At a glance, the fan in the background appears to be wearing a New Jersey Devils logo on their jersey - But closer inspection reveals it to be the logo of the Albany River Rats.
The River Rats were the minor-league (AHL) affiliate of the New Jersey Devils from 1993-2006.
I'd speculate that this photo was not taken at an NHL rink, but at some cross-promotional River Rats & Devils event - Possibly even at the Albany home arena.
The Colorado Avalanche were briefly involved with the River Rats team from 2006-2007, before the Rats officially became the farm team of the Carolina Hurricanes (lasting until 2010).
The team was ultimately sold and relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina and became known as the Charlotte Checkers.
