@ConorMcGahey Landeskog, Manson, Lehkonen, Francouz all on the ice before @Avalanche morning skate with skills coach Shawn Allard. Lehkonen doing drills with a stick for first time since he broke his finger in Montréal.
@rboulding Bednar said there's still no timeline for a lot of the injured guys. Manson and Francouz are making progress, but whether any player returns prior to the start of the postseason is unknown today.

@Peter_Baugh Gabriel Landeskog skated before practice today, stick handling but still moving slowly. He was on the ice for part of skate but was not really participating and left early. Still in a red non-contact jersey.

@Peter_Baugh Erik Johnson and Cale Makar are both in tonight.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 24, 2023
@rboulding Cale Makar is back in his spot running PP1 at morning skate.
Erik Johnson is running PK1 as well.
Could bode well for both returning this evening.

@jessemontano_ Evan Rodrigues is on the ice in a white jersey. Probably means he won’t play tonight, but is getting closer.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 24, 2023
@Peter_Baugh Cale Makar is on the ice again. We’ll see if he stays out the whole morning skate.

@brennan_vogt according to @evanrawal today is an optional skate for the #Avs. Makar is out there and Rodrigues is skating in red. #GoAvsGo @FullPressNHL

@Peter_Baugh No Cale Makar or Evan Rodrigues at today's practice, though both were here for the team picture beforehand. Darren Helm is back from illness.Gabriel Landeskog is not skating with the group, which isn't a surprise. Bednar said yesterday he'll still be skating on his own.

@brennan_vogt Coach Bednar on @AltitudeSR on injured: EJ will be with the team full time from now on, Helm is close, Landy is still not close, Rodrigues we are waiting to see how he feels to determine how long he is out. Makar tweaked something #GoAvsGo #Avs @FullPressNHL

@brennan_vogt Georgiev has doubled his career high in shutouts as the #Avs win their 6th straight. And they did this all without their top defensemen in the lineup. #GoAvsGo #NHL #HockeyTwitter @FullPressNHL https://t.co/flk8l9TjH7

@Peter_Baugh This is Denis Malgin's first-career three-point game. He has 12 points in 30 games with the Avs this year.
The #Avs acquired him for Dryden Hunt, a player they picked on waivers. Slick bit of work by the front office.

@rboulding Jared Bednar said Rodrigues left the game with an upper-body injury. Said it wasn't a concussion spotter thing, not yet.

@Peter_Baugh Cale Makar tweaked something against Detroit. Felt good afterwards but was sore yesterday and today.
He's out tonight but the team isn't concerned, Jared Bednar said. Day-to-day, and they didn't want to risk worsening it.
Kurtis MacDermid will play in his place tonight.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 20, 2023
He now has 87 points on the season, tied with Tage Thompson and Mitch Marner for sixth in the league. He's played 11 fewer games than both those players.
Only Connor McDavid has a higher point per game rate than MacKinnon.

@Peter_Baugh Artturi Lehkonen (upper-body) will not return, per the team.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 13, 2023
@rboulding ** This procedure was previously reported in Octobers as arthroscopic surgery, with a timeline of 12 weeks for recovery.** Today we were told this year's procedure was not as involved as the one prior to the playoffs. "The exact opposite" as far as severity.
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 10, 2023
@rboulding We talked to Jared Bednar today about Gabriel Landeskog's medical timeline, and our best understanding of the process is that he:* Had surgery "at the bubble on his quad"* Had "surgery on his knee going into the playoffs"* Had a "procedure" in "November"
— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Mar 10, 2023
@Peter_Baugh Jared Bednar said Gabriel Landeskog’s knee surgery this fall was unrelated to the one he had last March, though “I’m sure it didn’t help.” The coach acknowledged he’s concerned, but he also thinks Landeskog could easily come out of this and be fine. Time will tell.
@Peter_Baugh From Bednar:•EJ is 3 wks into what the team originally thought was a 8-10 wk timeline•Bednar is “cautiously optimistic” Helm will return this yr•Hopeful Manson will return at end of month•Francouz recovering slower than expected. Still hopeful he’ll return this year
@Peter_Baugh Jared Bednar on if he needs to address Mikko Rantanen’s unsportsmanlike conduct penalties for jawing at refs: “Already have.”He said Rantanen can’t do that. The winger knows it. Bednar talked to him at intermission. He understood and was receptive, so Bednar didn’t bench him.
@kylefredrickson Good news: #Avs GM Chris MacFarland said there are no long-term concerns over the health of Valeri Nichushkin's surgically repaired ankle.
In late December, he shut down briefly with "complications" to that ankle. Still feels like there's been some burst missing from his game.
@brennan_vogt A couple things here, we all know a goalie is coming back. Makar and Manson may determine Hunt's status for Sat as well. Eagles play on Fri at home, #Avs in Dallas on Sat (leave Fri). #GoAvsGo #Avs @FullPressNHL https://t.co/SjC37FNYzP
@brennan_vogt According to the NHL media site, Cale Makar is listed on IR. This could be to free up a roster spot for tonight... but it has been done. #GoAvsGo #Avs @FullPressNHL https://t.co/XoOZOBm7LH
