The Colorado Avalanche beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 5 – 1 tonight, effectively ending a 3 game losing streak and completing a season series sweep against Columbus. In a game that started off on the wrong foot, the Avs had an enormous showing from their rookies.
The Colorado Avalanche face off at home against the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight in the fourth meeting between the two teams this season. There are a few things going on with the team that are interesting to take note of.
A quick hit today on the Colorado Avalanche website breaks some bad news for Avs fans. Colorado Avalanche forward Milan Hejduk has undergone an arthroscopic procedure on his troubled knee and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks.
Milan Hejduk has practiced with the team and, according to the Avs themselves, is expecting to play this Saturday when the Colorado Avalanche host the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Yeah yeah, obviously Hejduk is alive and for those of you who didn’t get the joke, get out and read more. Anyway, Adrian Dater, some would argue my primary source for news (not true I swear!), is reporting that Milan Hejduk practiced with the team in Florida and could possibly return tomorrow against the Florida Panthers.
Colorado Avalanche forward David Jones is out 4-6 months with a torn ACL. The injury was suffered Saturday night against the Minnesota Wild.
Good news folks! John Michael Liles and T.J. Galiardi will both be returning to the ice tonight against the division rival Vancouver Canucks. This is incredible news after the ass-whoopin’ the Canucks served us last time.
